CPT 76510: Combined B-Scan and Quantitative A-Scan Ocular Ultrasound
CPT code 76510 covers combined B-scan and quantitative A-scan ultrasound of the eye and orbit, a diagnostic modality used to visualize intraocular and orbital structures and to obtain axial measurements. Nationally, this code matters because it documents advanced ophthalmic imaging that can influence diagnosis and management of retinal, vitreous, and orbital conditions as well as preoperative planning for certain ocular procedures. Payers commonly involved in coverage and payment for this service include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare.
Readers will find benchmarks and context for clinical use, including typical settings where the procedure is performed, common billing considerations, and how the combined imaging approach differs from single-modality ultrasound. The publication summarizes key coding characteristics, highlights where clinical documentation supports the combined study, and outlines what to expect in terms of typical site-of-service delivery. Data not available in the input include payer-specific reimbursement rates, associated taxonomies, and a list of related ICD-10 diagnoses or comparator procedure codes.

Billing Code Overview
CPT code 76510 describes ultrasound imaging of the eye using both B-scan and quantitative A-scan techniques to evaluate intraocular and orbital structures. The service is an ocular diagnostic imaging procedure that combines structural (B-scan) and quantitative axial length or echographic measurements (A-scan) in a single examination.
Service type: Diagnostic ophthalmic ultrasound (combined B-scan and A-scan)
Typical site of service: Ophthalmology clinic or hospital outpatient imaging suite, where specialized ocular ultrasound equipment and trained imaging or ophthalmic personnel are available.
Data not available in the input for associated taxonomies, specific ICD-10 diagnoses, or related procedure codes.
