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

What 77077 covers

This service captures a single radiographic projection that surveys one or two joints. It may be used when a clinician needs a broad joint assessment, for example when evaluating hands or feet for inflammatory arthritis. A radiologic technologist performs the imaging, and a radiologist or other qualified physician interprets the images. The service may be furnished in an office imaging department or a hospital radiology department.

Select this code when the study covers one or two joints in a single view; focused imaging with multiple views of a specific joint is coded according to that examination instead. Documentation should identify the joints imaged, the number of views, the clinical reason for the survey, and the interpretation. The professional component may be reported with modifier 26, the technical component with modifier TC, or the complete service without either modifier. CMS separately prices the 26 and TC components.
