What is medical billing code 76536?

Answer 1

Cpt 76536 would be used for an ultrasound, soft tissues of the head and neck (eg, thyroid, parathyroid, parotid), real time with image documentation. Diagnostic ultrasound is an imaging technique bouncing sound waves far above the level of human perception through interior body structures. The sound waves pass through different densities of tissue and reflect back to a receiving unit at varying speeds. The unit converts the waves to electrical pulses that are immediately displayed in picture form on screen. Real time scanning displays structure images and movement with time. This code reports ultrasound, real time with image documentation, for the soft tissues of the head and neck (eg, thyroid, parathyroid).
