What 77062 covers

Diagnostic bilateral breast tomosynthesis uses X-ray views acquired from multiple angles to create breast images that can be reviewed as slices. Radiologists use the examination to evaluate symptoms, abnormal findings on prior imaging, or screening findings that warrant diagnostic assessment. Breast imaging centers and radiology practices perform and interpret the examination. Conventional diagnostic mammography may also be part of the same workup; it describes a separate imaging service from tomosynthesis.

For Medicare, 77062 has physician fee schedule status I, meaning it is not valid for Medicare; Medicare uses G0279 for diagnostic digital breast tomosynthesis. Code 77062 identifies bilateral diagnostic tomosynthesis, while 77061 identifies unilateral diagnostic tomosynthesis and 77063 identifies bilateral screening tomosynthesis. Choose the diagnostic or screening code according to the purpose of the examination.

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.

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.
