Radiology
About 76010: Nose-to-rectum foreign body radiograph
A radiographic survey for a suspected foreign body spanning the nose to rectum, reported when broad coverage is needed to assess its location.
This radiographic survey looks for a suspected radiopaque foreign body across the nose-to-rectum span when its location is unknown or may have shifted. A common presentation is a child who may have swallowed a coin; the ordering clinician may request broad coverage rather than a single chest or abdominal study. Radiology technologists acquire the images in hospital or outpatient imaging settings, and a radiologist or other qualified interpreting clinician provides the diagnostic reading.
Report 76010 for the complete foreign-body survey, supported by the indication and documentation that imaging covered the stated nose-to-rectum extent. Do not substitute a localized chest, neck, or abdominal radiograph when the requested service is the full survey, or relabel survey images as separate regional studies. CMS allows the professional interpretation to be billed with modifier 26 and the equipment-and-staff portion with modifier TC; an unmodified claim represents the global service. Select the component that matches the work furnished and the billing entity.

76010 billing questions
When should 76010 be selected instead of a chest or abdominal radiograph?
Use 76010 when the requested foreign-body evaluation spans the nose to rectum. A chest or abdominal code describes a localized study rather than the complete survey.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the equipment-and-staff portion. An unmodified claim represents the global service.
Can I report a separate regional radiograph for images included in the survey?
Do not relabel images that make up the nose-to-rectum survey as separate regional studies. A distinct regional examination needs its own documentation.
What documentation supports 76010?
Document the suspected foreign-body indication and that the examination covered the nose-to-rectum extent. A possible swallowed coin is a typical reason for broad coverage.
Is 76010 an add-on code, or is it reported by time or units?
It is reported as the foreign-body survey, not as an add-on service or a time-based service. The supplied CMS facts specify professional and technical component billing.
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.
