Can you bill 76770 and 93975 billed together?
Do not code complete ultrasound CPT code 76770 & limited CPT code 76775 together. Limited exam is included in complete one, hence it should not be reported separately. Only the procedure code 76770 will be paid. Do use X{EPSU} modifier while coding CPT code 76770 or 76775 along with 93975/93976.
What is the difference between 76770 and 76775?
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).
Can 93975 and 76705 be billed together?
A: Yes, if an ultrasound of the liver is performed, and there is a clinical need for further evaluation by duplex scanning, then it is appropriate to code for both 76705 and 93975. The radiology codes for ultrasound (e.g. abdomen, retroperitoneal, etc.) generally represent two-dimensional (gray-scale) imaging.

What is a CT PET scan?
The CT scan takes a series of x-rays from all around your body and puts them together to create a 3 dimensional (3D) picture. The PET scan uses a mildly radioactive drug to show up areas of your body where cells are more active than normal. You usually have a PET-CT scan in the radiology department as an outpatient.
