About 76830: Nonobstetric transvaginal pelvic ultrasound

Reports diagnostic pelvic ultrasound using a vaginal transducer to assess pelvic structures in a nonpregnant patient, such as for pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding.

This diagnostic exam uses a vaginal transducer to obtain images of pelvic structures, commonly the uterus, endometrium, and ovaries. It is used in nonpregnant patients when a closer view is needed to evaluate concerns such as pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, or an adnexal finding. A sonographer may acquire the images, with a qualified practitioner interpreting the study; the service is commonly performed in imaging departments and gynecology offices.

Report the code for the nonobstetric transvaginal exam performed, and retain documentation of the indication, transvaginal approach, findings, and interpretation. CMS recognizes a professional component for interpretation, reported with modifier 26, and a technical component for equipment and staff, reported with modifier TC. Reporting without either modifier represents the global service, including both components.

76830 billing questions

How does this differ from 76817?

This code is for a nonobstetric pelvic exam. Use 76817 for a transvaginal ultrasound performed for an obstetric indication.

Can 76830 be reported with 76856?

They may be reported together when both a complete transabdominal pelvic exam and a transvaginal exam are performed and documented. The record should support each distinct examination.

Which modifier applies to the interpretation?

Report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation. Modifier TC represents the technical portion, including equipment and staff; reporting without either modifier represents the global service.

Is the code reported once for each ovary?

No. The code reports the transvaginal pelvic examination, not a separate service for each structure imaged.

When is 76831 a better fit?

Use 76831 for sonohysterography, in which saline is introduced into the uterine cavity to help assess it. This code describes transvaginal pelvic imaging without that cavity-distension procedure.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
