Medical records must document that the ultrasound was limited to retroperitoneal structures when billing CPT 76770/76775/76776, including images/findings demonstrating limitation to the retroperitoneum.
If the exam was expanded to include organs outside the retroperitoneum, documentation must reflect the expansion and support billing a full or limited abdominal ultrasound (CPT 76700/76705/76706).
Claims and documentation should follow the complementary Local Coverage Determination L34577 and any applicable LCD requirements.
This billing and coding article provides guidelines that complement Local Coverage Determination L34415 for CT of the abdomen and pelvis; consult LCD L34415 for specific coverage indications, limitations, and documentation requirements.

Retroperitoneal ultrasound (CPT 76770, 76775, 76776) is covered when the exam is limited solely to retroperitoneal structures.
A full (complete) or limited abdominal ultrasound (CPT 76700, 76705, 76706) is covered when the exam includes organs or structures outside the retroperitoneum or when primary findings involve non-retroperitoneal structures (e.g., gallbladder, liver, spleen, common bile duct).
An ECG is covered when the result is relevant to the management, diagnosis, or treatment of the patient.
A separate ECG on the same day as a cardiac stress test is payable only when it provides additional clinically necessary information beyond the stress test (e.g., to rule out acute myocardial infarction prior to performing the stress test).
Rhythm ECGs are covered when used to evaluate signs or symptoms suggesting a cardiac rhythm disorder.
Home-based ECG services (including additional payment above the base ECG amount for transportation) are covered when there is a documented medical need to perform the ECG in the patient's home, typically for homebound or bed-confined patients.
