What 76000 covers
Code 76000 describes physician- or qualified health care professional-supervised fluoroscopy lasting less than one hour. Fluoroscopy uses continuous or intermittent x-ray imaging to show motion, contrast flow, or the position of devices in real time. It may be performed in an operating room, procedure suite, or office when the clinician needs live imaging during a service. The clinician’s report should identify the reason for imaging, the fluoroscopic findings, and the interpretation.
Choose this code based on the fluoroscopic service performed and its duration, not simply because an x-ray unit was present. When imaging is guidance for a specific procedure, compare the service with codes that describe that particular guidance before reporting 76000 separately. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 reports the interpretation, modifier TC reports the equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. Documentation should support the component billed and the physician or qualified health care professional’s fluoroscopy time.
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.

76000 billing questions
When should 76000 be used instead of a procedure-specific fluoroscopy guidance code?
Use 76000 for the general fluoroscopic service when it is separately reportable. If the imaging is guidance for a specific service, compare it with the code for that guidance, such as needle placement or spinal injection guidance.
What do modifiers 26 and TC represent for 76000?
Modifier 26 reports the professional interpretation, while modifier TC reports the technical service, including equipment and staff. Reporting without either modifier represents the global service.
What documentation supports reporting 76000?
Document the clinical reason for fluoroscopy, the physician or qualified health care professional’s findings and interpretation, and the time supporting the under-one-hour service.
Can 76000 be reported when fluoroscopy is used during another procedure?
The presence of fluoroscopy during another procedure alone does not establish a separate reportable service. Determine whether the imaging is integral to that procedure or is separately reportable under the applicable coding rules.
Does 76000 include both the interpretation and the equipment service?
Without a component modifier, the claim represents the global service. Modifier 26 identifies the professional component, and modifier TC identifies the technical component.
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.
