CPT 76125: Motion Radiography of a Cycle of Movement
CPT code 76125 represents motion radiography: sequential X‑ray imaging captured and played back to visualize a cycle of movement, such as the cardiac cycle or spinal motion. This imaging technique supports dynamic assessment of anatomy and function that static radiographs cannot provide and is used in diagnostic workflows for musculoskeletal and cardiac evaluation. Nationally, motion radiography remains a niche but clinically valuable modality when assessing conditions that require visualization of movement.
Key payers in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find an overview of the code’s clinical context, typical sites of service, and the payer landscape. The publication outlines common billing considerations, typical modifier usage (listed separately), and related coding context. It also summarizes benchmark elements and policy updates where available.
The content provides clinicians, coders, and policy analysts with concise information on what the code covers, where it is typically performed, and which major national payers are relevant. Data not available in the input is identified explicitly in applicable sections.

Billing Code Overview
CPT code 76125 describes motion X-ray recording that acquires a series of individual images played back rapidly to appear as a motion picture. The service images a cycle of movement, such as the cardiac cycle or motion of the spine.
-
Service type: Diagnostic motion radiography capturing a sequence of images showing physiologic or anatomic movement over a cycle.
-
Typical site of service: Hospital radiology department or outpatient imaging center where motion fluoroscopic or cine radiography is performed.
