What 76706 covers
This service uses ultrasound to examine the abdominal aorta for aneurysmal enlargement in a screening context. A primary care clinician may order it for a patient without symptoms suggesting an aneurysm; imaging staff acquire the study, and a qualified physician interprets and reports the findings. The examination is focused on the aorta rather than a survey of the abdominal organs.
Report 76706 when the service is specifically an AAA screening examination, not when imaging is ordered to evaluate symptoms, a known aneurysm, or another abdominal finding. Documentation should support the screening purpose and include the imaging findings and interpretation. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the interpretation, modifier TC for the equipment and staff portion, or no component modifier for the global service.
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.

76706 billing questions
How does 76706 differ from a diagnostic limited ultrasound?
76706 is for screening the abdominal aorta for an aneurysm. A limited diagnostic study is selected when imaging is directed at symptoms, a known condition, or a specific finding rather than screening.
Which modifier identifies the interpretation?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation. Modifier TC identifies the technical portion, while billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Can the technical and professional portions be billed separately?
Yes. CMS recognizes separately priced 26 and TC components for this diagnostic test; the global service is reported without a component modifier.
What documentation supports reporting 76706?
Document the screening purpose, the abdominal aorta examination and its findings, and the physician's interpretation. The record should distinguish screening from an evaluation prompted by symptoms or a known abnormality.
Should 76706 be reported with a complete abdominal ultrasound?
The screening code describes a focused aortic screening examination, while a complete abdominal study examines a broader set of organs. Select the code that reflects the service actually performed and documented.
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.
