CPT code 76819 denotes an ultrasound-only biophysical profile (BPP) used to assess fetal well-being during pregnancy by evaluating ultrasound components without performing a nonstress test. This code is important nationally because BPPs are commonly used in prenatal care to monitor at-risk pregnancies and inform clinical decisions about timing of delivery and additional monitoring. Coverage and reimbursement for this specific ultrasound-only BPP affect maternal-fetal medicine, obstetrics practices, and imaging facilities.

Key payers in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of what CPT code 76819 represents, how it is typically provided (service type and sites of service), and which major payers are included in benchmarking and policy review. The publication also summarizes clinical context for the code, common billing considerations, and any notable policy updates affecting ultrasound-based fetal surveillance.

This summary is intended for national audiences including billing professionals, clinicians in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine, coding specialists, and policy analysts seeking a clear, practical briefing on CPT code 76819.
