TL;DR
HCPCS Level II G0339 reads "Image-guided robotic linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery, complete course of therapy in one session or first session of fractionated treatment" in the October 2026 file; it dates from 2004. The physician fee schedule lists G0339 with status C (contractor-priced: the MAC sets RVUs and payment case by case), so the PFS carries no national amount for it. MUE limits for G0339: practitioner 1 (MAI 2, Code Descriptor / CPT Instruction); hospital outpatient 1 (MAI 2, Code Descriptor / CPT Instruction). In the NCCI PTP files v323r0 G0339 appears in 34 practitioner pairs as column 2 and 171 as column 1 (most often with 61105, 61107, 61120), and in 34 hospital outpatient pairs as column 2 and 71 as column 1. 2 active LCDs and 2 billing and coding articles list G0339 across 9 states: L35076 (Stereotactic Radiation Therapy: Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)), L39553 (Radiation Therapies), A56874, A59350. OPPS status indicator B: Non-allowed item or service for OPPS. HCPCS record: BETOS P5E (ambulatory procedures - other); pricing indicator 13; type of service 1 (medical care). 1 other active code opens with "Image-guided robotic linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery"; related codes: G0340, G0330, G0328, G0327.
G0339 descriptor and code status
The October 2026 HCPCS Level II file describes G0339 as “Image-guided robotic linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery, complete course of therapy in one session or first session of fractionated treatment”. It sits in the G section (procedures and professional services, temporary), listed with the other G codes. Although searches often call it the "G0339 CPT code", G0339 is a HCPCS Level II code maintained by CMS, not an AMA CPT code; both go in the same procedure-code field on the claim.

Medicare payment for G0339
The physician fee schedule lists G0339 with status C (contractor-priced: the MAC sets RVUs and payment case by case), so the PFS carries no national amount for it. The amounts below are national figures from the October 2026 CMS files; the contractor applies the locality, rural or state adjustment and the beneficiary's cost sharing.
Physician fee schedule (RVU26D)
Status C: contractor-priced: the MAC sets RVUs and payment case by case. Global period XXX (global surgery concept does not apply); PC/TC indicator 0 (physician service; the professional/technical split does not apply).
Hospital outpatient (OPPS Addendum B)
Status indicator B (Non-allowed item or service for OPPS), with no separate OPPS payment rate.
Medically Unlikely Edits for G0339
MUE limits for G0339: practitioner 1 (MAI 2, Code Descriptor / CPT Instruction); hospital outpatient 1 (MAI 2, Code Descriptor / CPT Instruction). The practitioner MUE is a date-of-service policy edit: units above the limit deny even when split across lines, and appeals rarely succeed.
| Setting | MUE (units/DOS) | MAI | CMS rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practitioner services | 1 | 2 Date of Service Edit: Policy | Code Descriptor / CPT Instruction |
| Facility outpatient hospital | 1 | 2 Date of Service Edit: Policy | Code Descriptor / CPT Instruction |
The MUE lookup for G0339 shows every setting next to any other code on the same claim.
NCCI edits and add-on rules
