Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.
