List With CPT Codes For Pelvic Ultrasound | Short & Long Descriptions

The CPT manual describes seven procedures that are directly or indirectly relevant for Pelvic Ultrasound. Below we explain the difference between the Pelvic Ultrasound CPT codes and how they are relevant to ultrasounds of the pelvic region.

1. Introduction

CPT Codes 76830, 76856, and 76857 are directly relevant to an article on pelvic ultrasound CPT codes, as they directly describe nonobstetric pelvic ultrasound procedures.

CPT 0567T and 0568T have a specific focus on fallopian tube procedures using ultrasound guidance and might be included in a more comprehensive discussion on pelvic ultrasound applications.

Lastly, CPT 93975 and CPT 93976 might be considered tangentially relevant, and useful for the vascular assessment aspect of pelvic ultrasounds but are not exclusively focused on the general practice of pelvic imaging.

1. CPT Code For Permanent Fallopian Tube Occlusion Procedure

Lay-term: CPT code 0567T is used when a provider performs a procedure to permanently block the fallopian tubes using a degradable biopolymer implant, with the help of transvaginal ultrasound guidance.

Long description: Permanent fallopian tube occlusion with degradable biopolymer implant, transcervical approach, including transvaginal ultrasound guidance.

Short description: Permanent fallopian tube occlusion with implant.

2. CPT Code For Sonosalpingography For Fallopian Tube Occlusion Confirmation

Lay-term: CPT code 0568T is used when a provider introduces a mixture of saline and air into the fallopian tubes to confirm their occlusion, using a transcervical approach.

Long description: Introduction of a mixture of saline and air for sonosalpingography to confirm occlusion of fallopian tubes, transcervical approach.

Short description: Sonosalpingography for fallopian tube occlusion confirmation.

3. CPT Code For Transvaginal Ultrasound

Lay-term: CPT code 76830 is used when a provider performs a transvaginal ultrasound.

Long description: Ultrasound, transvaginal.

Short description: Transvaginal ultrasound.

4. CPT Code For Complete Pelvic Ultrasound

Lay-term: CPT code 76856 is used when a provider performs a complete pelvic ultrasound, which includes real-time imaging and documentation.

Long description: Ultrasound, pelvic (nonobstetric), real time with image documentation, complete.

Short description: Complete pelvic ultrasound.

5. CPT Code 76857

Lay-term: CPT code 76857 is used when a provider performs a limited or follow-up pelvic ultrasound, which includes real-time imaging and documentation. This is often used for monitoring follicles.

Long description: Ultrasound, pelvic (nonobstetric), real time with image documentation, limited or follow-up (e.g., for follicles).

Short description: Limited or follow-up pelvic ultrasound.

6. CPT Code For Limited or Follow-Up Pelvic Ultrasound

Lay-term: CPT code 93975 is used when a provider performs a complete duplex scan of the arterial inflow and venous outflow of abdominal, pelvic, scrotal contents, and/or retroperitoneal organs.

Long description: Duplex scan of arterial inflow and venous outflow of abdominal, pelvic, scrotal contents, and/or retroperitoneal organs; complete study.

Short description: Complete duplex scan of pelvic vascular structures.

7. CPT Code For Complete Duplex Scan of Pelvic Vascular Structures

Lay-term: CPT code 93976 is used when a provider performs a limited duplex scan of the arterial inflow and venous outflow of abdominal, pelvic, scrotal contents, and/or retroperitoneal organs.

Long description: Duplex scan of arterial inflow and venous outflow of abdominal, pelvic, scrotal contents, and/or retroperitoneal organs; limited study.

Short description: Limited duplex scan of pelvic vascular structures.
