What 72192 covers

This service is a computed tomography examination focused on the pelvis, performed without contrast material. A technologist acquires the images, and a radiologist typically interprets them. Common clinical situations include assessment of suspected pelvic fractures and evaluation of urinary calculi or other pelvic findings when the requested study is a noncontrast CT. The scan may be performed in a hospital or imaging center, or in an office with CT capability.

Select this code when the documented protocol is a pelvic CT without contrast; a study using contrast or both pre- and post-contrast imaging belongs to a different code in the pelvic CT series. The order and report should identify the pelvic indication, the noncontrast technique, and the interpreted findings. Report the global service without a component modifier when one entity furnishes both portions. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to both the professional and technical components.

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.

72192 billing questions

How do I choose 72192 instead of 72193 or 72194?

Use 72192 for a pelvic CT performed without contrast. Use 72193 for a study with contrast and 72194 when the examination includes imaging both without and with contrast.

When should modifier 26 or TC be reported?

Append modifier 26 when billing only the radiologist’s professional interpretation, or modifier TC for only the technical service. Report without either modifier when billing the global service.

What documentation supports 72192?

The order and imaging report should support the pelvic indication and show that the performed CT protocol was without contrast. The report should document the radiologist’s interpretation.

Does the multiple procedure reduction affect both components?

Yes. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical and professional components of this service.

Can pelvic radiographs be reported with this CT?

A radiograph and CT are different imaging services. The record should support that both examinations were performed and address distinct imaging needs; the CT code itself does not describe the radiograph.

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.
