These come from CMS indicators on this page, not general billing advice.

  • Its status indicator is N (non-covered)—Medicare covers no part of this service. See status indicators
  • 76390 splits into a professional component (modifier 26) and a technical component (modifier TC)—a claim for only one part needs that modifier to price correctly. See billing policy

Why a 76390 line may not pay separately Copy link

CMS publishes no separately payable amount for 76390 in this release, so reconciling the line means establishing which status governed the date of service rather than chasing a fee-schedule difference.

What to check

  • Confirm the status that governed the date of service before working this line as a short payment—CMS publishes no separately payable fee-schedule amount for it in this release.
  • Confirm which component the line carried before comparing anything: the same code prices three ways—globally, as a professional component with modifier 26, and as a technical component with modifier TC.
  • Reprice the line against the release, locality, setting, modifier and participation status that applied to the date of service before treating any difference as an underpayment.

Source & method

Show sources

This page uses CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q1 2013 release (effective January 2013). National baselines use GPCI 1.000 and exclude sequestration. Whether a national amount exists depends on the status and CMS’s payment instructions; blank RVUs are never treated as zero. Past releases are never edited, so these sources stay valid after CMS publishes a newer one. Our methodology explains sourcing, parsing, versioning, and how we cross-check claims before we publish them.
