Obstetric imaging
About 76801: Complete first-trimester obstetric ultrasound
Reports a complete ultrasound assessment of a single or first pregnancy before 14 weeks, including early fetal and pregnancy evaluation.
This code describes a complete ultrasound assessment of a pregnancy before 14 weeks for a single fetus or the first fetus in a multiple gestation. It is commonly performed in an obstetric office, radiology department, or maternal-fetal medicine setting to assess early pregnancy, such as dating or viability concerns. The examination may document the gestational sac, embryo, cardiac activity, fetal measurements, and relevant maternal structures. An obstetrician, radiologist, or maternal-fetal medicine specialist may interpret the images.
Select this code for a complete early obstetric study, rather than a limited check or a focused follow-up examination. The report should support the gestational age, number of fetuses, images and findings assessed, and the clinical reason for the study. For additional fetuses, report the applicable additional-fetus code with the primary study. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and reporting without a modifier represents the global service.
CMS billing rules for 76801

76801 billing questions
When is 76801 reported instead of 76815?
Use 76801 for a complete early obstetric ultrasound before 14 weeks. A limited examination addressing a narrower question is represented by 76815.
How is an additional fetus reported?
For a multiple gestation, report 76801 for the first fetus and 76802 for each additional fetus when the additional-fetus study is performed.
What do modifiers 26 and TC identify?
Modifier 26 reports the professional interpretation, while TC reports the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports 76801?
Document the indication, gestational age, number of fetuses, examination performed, images and findings, and the interpretation. The record should support a complete early pregnancy assessment rather than a limited or focused study.
How does 76801 differ from 76817?
76801 represents a complete early obstetric ultrasound. 76817 is used for an obstetric ultrasound performed by the transvaginal approach; the approach and service performed should be clear in the record.
