The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code range for Diagnostic Ultrasound Procedures 76506-76999 is a medical code set maintained by the American Medical Association.
A spontaneous delivery is a vaginal delivery that is manually assisted with no use of instrumentation such as forceps or vacuum extraction. In ICD-10-PCS, the code for this procedure will be the same every time, 10E0XZZ.

CPT CodeCommon Modifier(s)CPT Description76705-26Ultrasound, abdominal, real time with image documentation; limited (eg, single organ, quadrant, follow-up)
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.
New description of CPT code 76881 and 76882 As you can see the below description, CPT code 76881 exam includes the joint space and the surrounding soft tissues. While CPT code 76882 is a limited exam which involves a joint space or surrounding soft tissues such as tendons or nerves.
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. It would be incorrect to report 76700 with a 52 modifier.

Article Text. The information in this article contains billing, coding or other guidelines that complement the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for the Retroperitoneal Ultrasound L34577.
Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity. Retroperitoneal ultrasound (US) studies represent the ultrasonic imaging of retroperitoneal organs for the diagnosis and management of abnormalities that occur within the retroperitoneum.
One of the urologist physicians that I work for wants to report CPT 76770 along with CPT 51798 (Measurement of post voiding residual urine). Per AUA, a complete retroperitoneal ultrasound (CPT 76770) can be reported if complete evaluation of the kidneys and urinary bladder has been done and with clinical history suggesting urinary track pathology.
Answer (1 of 4): The terminology usually describes the type of ultrasound that is requested by a healthcare provider and they are distinct examinations. A renal and bladder ultrasound is sometimes called a “retroperitoneal” ultrasound because the kidneys are anatomically located behind the perit...

Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination. Complete absence of all Revenue Codes indicates that coverage is not influenced by Revenue Code and the article should be assumed to apply equally to all Revenue Codes.
If the physical exam has primary findings for the involvement of non-retroperitoneal structures/organs (gallbladder, liver, spleen, common bile duct, etc.), even though it may be necessary to visualize retroperitoneal structures in the course of the procedure, a full abdominal US would be required in most cases to be diagnostic, and that is the procedure that should be performed and billed.
