About CPT 0772T

CPT 0772T is a Current Procedural Terminology code in the Other category maintained by the American Medical Association. The CMS short descriptor reads "Vr px dissoc svc sm phy ea". For the full AMA long descriptor and clinical guidance, refer to the current CPT code manual.

Add-on codes cannot be billed alone and inherit their global period from the primary procedure. Payer scrubbers will reject add-on codes submitted without a valid base code on the same claim.

Pro Tip

Verify the current CMS National Physician Fee Schedule and any local Medicare Administrative Contractor LCDs before billing 0772T. Commercial payer medical policies can impose additional bundling, prior authorization, or documentation requirements beyond national rules.
