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

What 76770 covers

Real-time ultrasound with saved images surveys the kidneys, abdominal aorta, origins of the common iliac arteries, and inferior vena cava. For suspected urinary tract disease, examination of both kidneys and the urinary bladder can also constitute a complete study. Common indications include hematuria, flank pain, hydronephrosis, acute kidney injury, and chronic kidney disease. A sonographer typically acquires images in a hospital imaging department, freestanding center, or physician office; a radiologist or other qualified physician interprets them.

Choose 76770 when the report addresses every structure required for the applicable complete examination. If bowel gas or body habitus prevents visualization, document the attempt and reason; an intentionally focused exam is reported with 76775. Retain images and record findings, including abnormalities. CMS recognizes modifier TC for equipment and staff and modifier 26 for interpretation; a provider furnishing both components reports the global service without either modifier. When multiple eligible diagnostic imaging services are furnished to the same patient on the same day, CMS's diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction can affect both professional and technical components.
