Radiology

About 77076: Infant skeletal survey

Reports a multi-image radiographic survey of an infant’s skeleton when clinicians evaluate widespread bone findings, such as suspected fractures or bone disease.

This service is a series of radiographs covering the infant skeleton rather than imaging of one isolated bone or joint. It is commonly performed in a hospital or imaging department when clinicians investigate suspected inflicted injury, multiple fractures, or a disorder affecting bones throughout the body. A radiologist interprets the images and documents the findings across the surveyed areas.

Select this code for an infant skeletal survey, not a limited study of selected bones or a general complete survey. The order and report should support the clinical reason for examining the skeleton broadly and identify the images obtained and findings. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. The professional and technical components are separately priced.

77076 billing questions

How does this differ from a limited osseous survey?

Use 77076 for an infant survey covering the skeleton broadly. Code 77074 describes a limited osseous survey focused on selected areas.

When would the complete osseous survey be considered instead?

Code 77075 is the complete osseous survey code for patients who do not need the infant-specific survey. Choose based on the patient and the study performed, not simply the number of images.

Can the radiologist and imaging facility report separate components?

Yes. The interpreting professional may report modifier 26, and the facility providing equipment and staff may report modifier TC. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting 77076?

The record should identify the clinical reason for an infant-wide skeletal evaluation and document the survey performed and the radiologist’s interpretation.

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.
