Radiology

About 76100: Single-view nonchest radiographic examination

Reports a specifically requested single-view X-ray of a body section other than the chest when the study fits this broad radiographic service.

This service covers a static X-ray examination of one body section outside the chest, performed as a single view. A radiologic technologist typically acquires the image in a hospital department, imaging center, or office; a physician interprets the study. It may fit a focused diagnostic question when the order and examination specify one projection and no more specific body-part code describes the service.

Choose the code based on the body section and number of views actually performed, not simply the number of images submitted. The record should identify the examined body section, support that the study was limited to one view, and include the order and interpretation. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation; modifier TC identifies the technical work, equipment, and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service, including both components.

76100 billing questions

When should 76100 be used instead of a body-part-specific X-ray code?

Use 76100 when the nonchest, single-view study fits this broad service and no more specific code describes the body section and view count. If a dedicated code matches the exam, report that code instead.

Can 76100 be reported for a chest X-ray?

No. This code describes a body section other than the chest; select the applicable chest radiography code for a chest study.

How are the interpretation and image acquisition reported?

Modifier 26 reports the professional interpretation, and modifier TC reports the technical service. An unmodified claim represents the global service.

Can 76100 be reported for each image when multiple views are obtained?

It describes a single-view study, not a per-image add-on. When multiple views are performed, select the code that matches the body section and view count.

What documentation supports 76100?

Document the body section examined, that only one view was performed, the clinical order, and the physician's interpretation.

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.
