# CPT 76775

> Medicare paid $58.72 for CPT 76775 in the office (non-facility) setting and $58.72 in a facility under the Q1 2016 Physician Fee Schedule, effective January 2016. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This is a 0.9% increase from the previous quarter.

## What it is

A focused ultrasound of one part of the retroperitoneal region - most often just the kidneys, or a single follow-up target - rather than the full survey. What separates it from the complete study is coverage: the complete exam works through all the required structures in the compartment, while this one answers a narrower question. It is the version usually used for repeat checks of something already found.
