What 76376 covers

This service converts data from an existing CT, MR, ultrasound, or other tomographic examination into three-dimensional views for clinical interpretation. A radiologist or other qualified physician may use the reconstruction to assess anatomy that is difficult to understand on source images alone, such as a complex vascular course, fracture geometry, or organ relationships. The distinguishing feature is that the postprocessing does not require an independent workstation; rendering that does require one belongs to the related workstation code.

Report the service when the 3D reconstruction and its interpretation are documented, rather than for the acquisition of the underlying imaging study alone. The report should support the clinical purpose and findings of the rendered views. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion, and billing without either 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.

How to choose

763773D rendering
Both describe 3D rendering with interpretation and reporting. The deciding distinction is whether postprocessing requires an independent workstation.
70496Ct angiography head
70496 represents CT angiography of the head; 76376 represents 3D rendering of existing tomographic data when no independent workstation is required.

76376 billing questions

How is this code distinguished from 76377?

The key distinction is whether 3D postprocessing requires an independent workstation. Use 76376 when it does not; use 76377 when it does.

Can the underlying CT or MR examination also be reported?

The imaging examination represents acquisition and interpretation of the source study, while this code represents documented 3D rendering and interpretation. Document the rendering work separately from the source examination.

When should modifier 26 or TC be used?

Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical equipment and staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting this service?

Document the source imaging data, the 3D reconstruction performed, its clinical purpose, and the interpretation and findings. The record should make clear that an independent postprocessing workstation was not required.

Is this code selected based on the number of images acquired?

No. The distinguishing selection criterion is the workstation requirement for 3D postprocessing, not the number of source images.

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.
