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

What 78701 covers

This nuclear medicine study captures images of the kidneys’ morphology along with the passage of radiotracer through the renal blood supply. A technologist performs the acquisition using nuclear imaging equipment, and a radiologist or nuclear medicine physician interprets the images. It may be selected when the requested study needs to show both renal structure and perfusion, rather than kidney morphology alone or a renal flow-and-function study.

Report 78701 when the documented examination includes the morphology and vascular-flow elements. The order and imaging report should support that scope; do not select it solely because a kidney study was performed. CMS prices the professional interpretation and technical acquisition separately when reported with modifier 26 or TC, respectively. Reporting the code without either modifier represents the global service, including both components.

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.
