Diagnostic radiology
About 76120: Cine or video x-ray imaging
Reports a brief cine or video x-ray acquisition capturing motion during diagnostic imaging, with the interpretation and image-capture service billed globally or by component.
76120 captures x-ray images as a moving sequence rather than a single static projection, for a brief cine or video acquisition of anatomy in motion. A radiologist or other qualified interpreting practitioner reviews the recorded sequence and documents findings; technical staff operate the imaging equipment in a radiology department, hospital, or office imaging suite. The code is used when the dynamic recording itself is the service, rather than simply because fluoroscopy was used during another separately defined examination.
Report 76120 for the initial interval of up to two minutes; report 76125 for each additional two-minute interval when supported. The record should identify the body area and clinical indication, document the cine or video acquisition and its duration, and include a signed interpretation when the professional service is billed. Modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, while TC identifies the equipment and staff; without either modifier, the claim represents the global service. A practice may bill the component it furnished, or the global service when it furnished both.

76120 billing questions
When should 76120 be used instead of 76100?
Use 76120 when the service includes a cine or video sequence that records motion. 76100 describes an x-ray examination of a body section, rather than this moving-image service.
How is time beyond the initial interval reported?
76120 covers the initial interval of up to two minutes. Report 76125 for each additional two-minute interval supported by the recorded acquisition.
What do modifiers 26 and TC identify?
Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Reporting without either modifier represents the global service.
What documentation supports reporting 76120?
Document the clinical indication, imaged body area, cine or video acquisition, and its duration. Include the interpreting practitioner's report when billing the professional component or global service.
Can 76120 be reported for any examination that uses fluoroscopy?
No. Report 76120 for the cine or video x-ray acquisition itself, not merely because fluoroscopy was used as part of another separately defined examination.
