What 72193 covers

This service is a computed tomography examination focused on the pelvis, performed with contrast material to help distinguish organs, soft tissues, vessels, and abnormal findings. A technologist acquires the images, and a radiologist or other qualified physician interprets them and documents the findings. Common clinical questions include whether a pelvic mass, inflammatory process, or collection is present; the ordering indication and imaging protocol determine the examination performed.

Select this code when the documented pelvic CT protocol uses contrast without the combined precontrast-and-postcontrast approach represented by 72194. The order, technologist record, and final report should support the pelvic anatomy examined and the contrast protocol actually performed. The service has professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the interpretation, modifier TC for the equipment and staff service, or neither modifier when billing the global service. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to both the technical and professional components.
