What 72194 covers
This examination acquires CT images of the pelvis without contrast material and again after contrast administration, allowing the radiologist to assess pelvic anatomy across both phases. It may be ordered to evaluate a pelvic mass, inflammatory or infectious process, or another abnormality when the clinician needs both noncontrast and enhanced images. A CT technologist performs the scan in a hospital or imaging center; a radiologist interprets the study and issues the report.
Report 72194 when the documented examination includes both noncontrast and contrast-enhanced pelvic acquisitions. A study performed in just one phase maps to the corresponding single-phase code. The order, protocol, and report should support the pelvic region examined and both phases, rather than a dedicated pelvic CT angiogram. CMS recognizes separate professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation, TC for equipment and staff, or neither for the global service. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to both components.

72194 billing questions
Does 72194 include the radiologist's interpretation?
Billing without a component modifier represents the global service, including the professional and technical components. Modifier 26 identifies interpretation; modifier TC identifies the technical component.
How does the multiple procedure reduction apply?
CMS applies the diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction to both the professional and technical components.
What documentation supports reporting 72194?
The record should support a pelvic CT performed in both phases, including the order, imaging protocol, and report. A single-phase study does not support this code.
Is 72194 the right code for a pelvic CT angiogram?
Not for a dedicated pelvic CT angiogram; 72191 describes that angiographic study. Code 72194 is for routine pelvic CT imaging acquired without and with contrast.
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.
