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

What 76936 covers

This service covers ultrasound evaluation and real-time guidance while treating an arterial pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula. A common setting is treatment of a femoral artery pseudoaneurysm after catheterization, using ultrasound-guided compression or thrombin injection. The treating physician uses imaging to locate and assess the lesion and guide or monitor the repair; the service includes permanent image recording and a report. It is distinct from ultrasound used simply to obtain vascular access or guide a needle for another procedure.

Report the code for the ultrasound guidance and associated evaluation performed for the repair, supported by documentation of the treated lesion, guidance provided, and recorded images and interpretation. The repair itself may have a separate procedure code when appropriate; do not report a separate guidance code for the same ultrasound work. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and no modifier represents the global service.
