What is the CPT code for ultrasound abdomen and pelvis?

A complete exam (76700) consists of liver, gallbladder, common bile duct, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, aorta and ivc. Anything less than all of those is limited (76705) and would be reported only once.

CPT code 76856 represents a non-obstetrical pelvic ultrasound, real time with image documentation; complete. CPT code 76830 represents a non-obstetrical transvaginal ultrasound.

CPT® 76856, Under Diagnostic Ultrasound Procedures of the Pelvis Non-Obstetrical. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 76856 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range – Diagnostic Ultrasound Procedures of the Pelvis Non-Obstetrical.

The CPT code for abdomen is a direct code for complete (CPT code 76700) and limited exam(CPT code 76705). The coding for abdomen ultrasound depends on the number of organs studied. It happens when we code Doppler exam with ultrasound abdomen. We have separate code for limited and complete exam for Doppler as well.

“A complete ultrasound examination of the abdomen (76700) consists of real-time scans of the liver, gallbladder, common bile duct, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and the upper abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava including any demonstrated abdominal abnormality.”

74178, Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material in one or both body regions, followed by contrast material(s) and further sections in one or both body regions. Report 74176 when both studies (abdomen and pelvis) are performed without contrast.

However, the American Medical Association has determined that CPT® code 76770 Ultrasound, retroperitoneal (ie, renal, aorta, nodes), real time with image documentation, complete should be billed if the clinical history suggests urinary tract pathology, and evaluation of both kidneys and bladder.

Basics about CPT code 93970 & 93971 An ultrasound study is performed to evaluate veins in the extremities. … Assign CPT code 93970 for a complete bilateral study of the upper or lower extremity veins.

We can billed Procedure code 76856 & 76830 together. Many coders have confusion in billing these two codes together. But, as per coding guidelines their are no NCCI edits between CPT code 76856 & 76830, hence both procedure codes can be coded together.

CPT-4 codes 76830, 76856 and 76857 (non-obstetric sonography procedures), and codes 93975 and 93976 (duplex scan of arterial/venous flow) are not reimbursable if billed in conjunction with ICD-10-CM codes A34, O00.

Answer: Code 76830 (ultrasound, transvaginal) should not be reported as part of the hysterosalpingogram. It may only be reported with 76831 if a diagnostic ultrasound is ordered, medically necessary, performed, and documented separately from the hysterosalpingogram.

Male: evaluation and measurement of the bladder, evaluation of the prostate and seminal vesicles and any pelvic pathology. 76857 is a limited study and typically focuses on one or more elements listed under 76856 and/or the reevaluation of one or more pelvic abnormalities.

93976. Duplex scan of arterial inflow and venous outflow of abdominal, pelvic, scrotal contents and/or. retroperitoneal organs; Limited study.

76815 Ultrasound, pregnant uterus, real time with image documentation, limited (e.g., Fetal heartbeat, placental location, fetal position and/or qualitative amniotic fluid volume,1 or more fetuses.

78227: Hepatobiliary system imaging, including gallbladder when present; with pharmacologic intervention, including quantitative measurement(s) when performed.

CPT® Code 76705 in section: Ultrasound, abdominal, real time with image documentation.

CPT code 76856 represents a non-obstetrical transabdominal ultrasound, real time with image documentation; complete.

11: Right upper quadrant pain.

For example, CPT code 93000 denotes a routine electrocardiogram (ECG) with at least 12 leads, including the tracing, interpretation, and report.

CPT® Code 76775 – Diagnostic Ultrasound Procedures of the Abdomen and Retroperitoneum – Codify by AAPC.

CPT® 70482, Under Diagnostic Radiology (Diagnostic Imaging) Procedures of the Head and Neck. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 70482 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range – Diagnostic Radiology (Diagnostic Imaging) Procedures of the Head and Neck.

CPT® Code 73721 – Diagnostic Radiology (Diagnostic Imaging) Procedures of the Lower Extremities – Codify by AAPC.

74175, Computed tomographic angiography, abdomen, with contrast material(s), including noncontrast images, if performed, and image postprocessing.

I was trained that if ultrasound of right and left kidney is done (with or w/out bladder), that CPT 76775 should be used; however, if above is done along with renal pelvis, ureters, bladder then the complete would be used (76770).

Code 52356 (cystourethroscopy, with ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy; with lithotripsy including insertion of indwelling ureteral stent [eg, Gibbons or double-J type]) includes the performance of lithotripsy and the insertion of the indwelling stent on the same side.

In contrast, insertion of an indwelling or non-temporary stent (CPT® code 52332) involves the placement of a specialized self-retaining stent (e.g. J stent) into the ureter to relieve obstruction or treat ureteral injury. This requires a guidewire to position the stent within the kidney.

On codes 93970 and 93971, the distinction is greater than just unilateral or bilateral. 93970 is defined as a complete bilateral study, and as such must meet this definition exactly to be reported. 93971 is a unilateral or limited study, and can be used for a limited bilateral service as well as a unilateral.

CPT code 93971 (Duplex scan of extremity veins including responses to compression and other maneuvers; unilateral or limited study) for the following: Preoperative examination of potential harvest vein grafts to be used during bypass surgery.

For evaluation of extremity veins for venous incompetence or deep vein thrombosis, use CPT codes 93970, duplex scan of extremity veins; complete bilateral study or 93971, unilateral or limited study.

CPT code 76816 will be reimbursed when reported with modifier 59 for each additional fetus. CPT codes 76818 and 76819: Profile assessments will be reimbursed for the second and any additional fetuses and should be reported separately by code 76818 or 76819 with the modifier 59 appended.

The most common or standard OB ultrasound study performed after the first trimester is described by CPT code 76805. The number of gestations and examination of the maternal adnexa are required as they were for 76801.

The complete study code (CPT code 93975) describes duplex evaluation of arterial supply and venous drainage of an organ(s) in the abdomen, retroperitoneum, and/or pelvis. … CPT code 93976 (limited study) is reported only when part of an organ is evaluated or the study is otherwise limited.

CPT® code 76770 Ultrasound, retroperitoneal (eg, renal, aorta, nodes), real time with image documentation, complete should be billed if the clinical history suggests urinary tract pathology, and evaluation of both kidneys & bladder.
