# CPT 77063

> Medicare paid $56.16 for CPT 77063 in the office (non-facility) setting and $56.16 in a facility under the Q3 2018 Physician Fee Schedule, effective July 2018. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2018, when it decreased 0.3%.

## What it is

The three-dimensional part of a routine screening mammogram, done on both breasts. The X-ray tube sweeps in an arc across the breast and the machine reconstructs the images into thin slices that can be scrolled through like pages, so overlapping tissue is less likely to hide or fake a lesion. It is performed at the same sitting as the standard flat screening mammogram and reported along with it. Screening means the patient has no breast symptoms.
