What 76010 covers

This radiographic survey looks for a suspected radiopaque foreign body across the nose-to-rectum span when its location is unknown or may have shifted. A common presentation is a child who may have swallowed a coin; the ordering clinician may request broad coverage rather than a single chest or abdominal study. Radiology technologists acquire the images in hospital or outpatient imaging settings, and a radiologist or other qualified interpreting clinician provides the diagnostic reading.

Report 76010 for the complete foreign-body survey, supported by the indication and documentation that imaging covered the stated nose-to-rectum extent. Do not substitute a localized chest, neck, or abdominal radiograph when the requested service is the full survey, or relabel survey images as separate regional studies. CMS allows the professional interpretation to be billed with modifier 26 and the equipment-and-staff portion with modifier TC; an unmodified claim represents the global service. Select the component that matches the work furnished and the billing entity.

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.

76010 billing questions

When should 76010 be selected instead of a chest or abdominal radiograph?

Use 76010 when the requested foreign-body evaluation spans the nose to rectum. A chest or abdominal code describes a localized study rather than the complete survey.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the equipment-and-staff portion. An unmodified claim represents the global service.

Can I report a separate regional radiograph for images included in the survey?

Do not relabel images that make up the nose-to-rectum survey as separate regional studies. A distinct regional examination needs its own documentation.

What documentation supports 76010?

Document the suspected foreign-body indication and that the examination covered the nose-to-rectum extent. A possible swallowed coin is a typical reason for broad coverage.

Is 76010 an add-on code, or is it reported by time or units?

It is reported as the foreign-body survey, not as an add-on service or a time-based service. CMS specifies professional and technical component billing.

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.
