Diagnostic ultrasound
About 76883: Comprehensive peripheral nerve ultrasound, one extremity
Report this code for a comprehensive ultrasound evaluation of peripheral nerves and associated structures in one extremity, with image documentation and interpretation.
This service is a comprehensive ultrasound assessment of peripheral nerves and associated structures in one extremity. The examination images clinically relevant nerves and surrounding anatomy; a qualified interpreting clinician reviews the images and documents the findings. Neurologists, radiologists, and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians may use it when evaluating suspected focal nerve entrapment, nerve enlargement, nerve injury, or another peripheral nerve abnormality in an outpatient or hospital setting.
Select this code when the record supports a comprehensive peripheral nerve evaluation of one extremity, rather than a focused limited extremity ultrasound. Documentation should identify the side and nerves or regions examined, the clinical indication, image findings, and interpretation. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff, and an unmodified claim represents the global service. Report the component furnished and supported by the documentation.

76883 billing questions
Can the professional and technical services be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 represents the professional interpretation, and modifier TC represents the technical service. An unmodified claim represents the global service.
What should the report document?
Document the clinical indication, side, nerves or anatomic regions examined, ultrasound findings, and interpretation. The record should support the comprehensive scope of the examination.
Can this be reported with nerve conduction testing?
It may be reported with nerve conduction testing when both services are performed and documented for the encounter. The ultrasound report should support a distinct peripheral nerve imaging service.
Does this code describe a focused examination of one nerve?
The code represents a comprehensive evaluation of peripheral nerves and associated structures in one extremity, not simply a focused limited ultrasound.
