CPT 76700 describes "Ultrasound, abdominal, real time with image documentation; complete".
An abdominal ultrasound is a noninvasive procedure used to assess the body parts within the abdomen (i.e. liver, gallbladder, pancreas, bile ducts, spleen, and abdominal aorta).
A complete ultrasound exam of the abdomen (CPT code 76700) "consists of real time scans of the liver, gall bladder, common bile duct, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and the upper abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava including any demonstrated abdominal abnormality," according to "Abdomen and Retroperitoneum" CPT guidelines.
