CPT Code 77063: Screening Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, Add-on to Mammography

CPT code 77063 is a screening add-on for bilateral digital breast tomosynthesis, performed alongside a screening mammogram (CPT 77067). It enhances breast cancer detection using 3D imaging.

Yes, code 77063 must be billed in conjunction with CPT code 77067 as the primary screening service. The two codes represent combined 2D and 3D mammography for screening.

77066 is for diagnostic mammography (bilateral), while 77067 is for screening mammography. Use 77066 when signs or symptoms are present.

Mammography uses 2D X-rays, while breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography) takes multiple layered images. Tomosynthesis provides better visibility and lowers false positives in breast cancer screening.
