What 0774T covers
This add-on represents additional time using virtual reality to support a patient's dissociation during a procedure. It is reported by the physician or other qualified health care professional providing the VR dissociation service when that clinician is other than the physician providing the procedure. It is distinct from virtual reality used as a therapeutic service outside this procedural context.
Medicare assigns this Category III code carrier-priced status. CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. Report it only with the applicable primary procedure, not by itself. This code represents each additional 15 minutes after the initial interval represented by 0773T, and Medicare treats payment within the primary procedure's global period.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

0774T billing questions
When should I use 0774T rather than 0773T?
Use 0773T for the initial interval of the service by the other physician or qualified professional. Use 0774T for each additional 15 minutes.
Can 0774T be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with the applicable primary procedure.
How many minutes does one unit represent?
Each unit represents an additional 15 minutes after the initial interval.
How does Medicare price 0774T?
It has carrier-priced status, so CMS publishes no national payment. The Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim.
What should the record support?
Document the VR dissociation service, the clinician providing it, and the additional time represented by the units reported.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
