Both describe 3D rendering with interpretation and reporting. The deciding distinction is whether postprocessing requires an independent workstation.

Diagnostic imaging
About 76376: 3D rendering without independent workstation
Report 3D rendering when a clinician reconstructs and interprets existing tomographic images without using an independent postprocessing workstation.
This service converts data from an existing CT, MR, ultrasound, or other tomographic examination into three-dimensional views for clinical interpretation. A radiologist or other qualified physician may use the reconstruction to assess anatomy that is difficult to understand on source images alone, such as a complex vascular course, fracture geometry, or organ relationships. The distinguishing feature is that the postprocessing does not require an independent workstation; rendering that does require one belongs to the related workstation code.
Report the service when the 3D reconstruction and its interpretation are documented, rather than for the acquisition of the underlying imaging study alone. The report should support the clinical purpose and findings of the rendered views. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.
CMS billing rules for 76376
- Professional and technical components
- Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.

76376 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 76377?
The key distinction is whether 3D postprocessing requires an independent workstation. Use 76376 when it does not; use 76377 when it does.
Can the underlying CT or MR examination also be reported?
The imaging examination represents acquisition and interpretation of the source study, while this code represents documented 3D rendering and interpretation. Document the rendering work separately from the source examination.
When should modifier 26 or TC be used?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical equipment and staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
Document the source imaging data, the 3D reconstruction performed, its clinical purpose, and the interpretation and findings. The record should make clear that an independent postprocessing workstation was not required.
Is this code selected based on the number of images acquired?
No. The distinguishing selection criterion is the workstation requirement for 3D postprocessing, not the number of source images.
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.
