What 76814 covers
This add-on represents nuchal translucency ultrasound measurement for an additional gestation in a multifetal pregnancy. The examination uses obstetric ultrasound to assess the fluid space at the back of the fetal neck as part of first-trimester screening. It may be performed by an obstetrician, maternal-fetal medicine specialist, or radiologist with appropriate ultrasound expertise in an office or imaging setting.
Report 76814 for each additional gestation measured beyond the first, with 76813 for the initial gestation. Documentation should identify the multifetal pregnancy and support the additional gestation examined, with image documentation and the measurement and interpretation recorded. CMS classifies 76814 as an add-on code, so it is reported with its primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and no modifier represents 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.

76814 billing questions
Which primary code must accompany 76814?
Report 76814 with 76813, which represents the nuchal translucency measurement for the first gestation. This add-on is not reported by itself.
How many units should be reported?
Report one unit for each additional gestation measured beyond the first. Documentation should support the number of additional gestations examined.
Can the professional and technical services be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Is 76814 used for a routine additional-fetus ultrasound?
No. It applies to nuchal translucency measurement for an additional gestation. Other obstetric ultrasound codes describe additional-fetus examinations for different study types.
What documentation supports the additional unit?
The record should support a multifetal pregnancy and show that nuchal translucency was measured for each additional gestation billed, with the relevant image documentation and interpretation.
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.
