What 76810 covers

This add-on covers the standard obstetric ultrasound evaluation of an additional fetus at 14 weeks or later. It is used in multiple gestations when the primary study evaluates one fetus and the examination also requires evaluation of another. A sonographer typically acquires the images in an office or hospital imaging department; a physician interprets the study and documents the findings. The additional-fetus evaluation is distinct from a detailed fetal anatomic examination.

Report 76810 with the qualifying primary obstetric ultrasound, not as a stand-alone service. Documentation should identify the gestational age and number of fetuses and support the evaluation of each additional fetus. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff, and no component modifier represents the global service. CMS treats this add-on payment within the primary procedure’s global period.

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.

76810 billing questions

Which primary code is paired with 76810?

Pair it with 76805 when the standard obstetric ultrasound is performed at 14 weeks or later and evaluates an additional fetus.

How is 76810 different from 76812?

Use 76810 for the standard additional-fetus evaluation. Code 76812 is for an additional fetus in a detailed obstetric ultrasound.

How many units should be reported?

Report one unit for each additional fetus evaluated beyond the fetus represented by the primary study. Documentation should make the number of fetuses and the additional evaluation clear.

Can 76810 be billed by itself?

No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with its qualifying primary obstetric ultrasound.

How are the professional and technical services reported?

Use modifier 26 for the physician’s interpretation or TC for the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

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.
