What 73115 covers

This service covers radiographic imaging of the wrist joint after contrast has been introduced into the joint, with radiologic supervision and interpretation. It is used when a clinician needs to evaluate wrist joint structures, such as in an arthrographic workup of suspected internal derangement. A radiologist typically interprets the study; the technical work involves the imaging equipment and staff in an outpatient imaging department or hospital radiology department.

Select this code for the radiographic arthrography study, rather than a routine wrist radiograph. The record should support the wrist studied, contrast arthrography, and the interpreting physician’s findings. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or no component modifier for the global service. For bilateral studies, CMS pays each side separately at 100%; documentation should identify both wrists.

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.
