What 27093 covers

This service places contrast within the hip joint to outline joint structures for an arthrogram. A radiologist or other qualified physician typically performs the injection, often using imaging to guide needle placement. The injection may precede fluoroscopic arthrography or an MRI arthrogram; the imaging acquisition and interpretation are represented by their own codes when performed. This code describes the injection without anesthesia; use its sibling code 27095 when the injection procedure is performed with anesthesia.

Select the code based on the service performed, not simply the type of scan ordered. Document the hip and side, indication, contrast injection, and whether anesthesia was used. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

27093 billing questions

When should 27093 be chosen instead of 27095?

Use 27093 for the hip arthrogram injection performed without anesthesia. Use 27095 when anesthesia is used for the injection procedure.

Does 27093 include the arthrogram imaging?

It represents the contrast injection into the hip joint. Report the separately performed imaging acquisition and interpretation with the applicable imaging code, such as 73525 for fluoroscopic hip arthrography.

Can 27093 be reported with an MRI arthrogram?

Yes. The injection prepares the joint for imaging, and the MRI service may be reported separately when performed; 73722 describes MRI of a lower-extremity joint without and then with contrast.

How is bilateral reporting handled?

CMS lists this as a bilateral procedure: modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Document that both hips were injected.

What same-session payment rules apply?

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
