What 73206 covers

This study uses computed tomography to depict arteries in an upper extremity, with image acquisition both before and after contrast administration. It is commonly used to evaluate suspected arterial narrowing or blockage, aneurysm, vascular injury, or anatomy before a vascular procedure. A radiology team performs the scan, and a qualified interpreting professional reviews the images and provides a report in settings such as a hospital or imaging center.

Select this code when the examination is an angiographic study of upper extremity vessels and includes both noncontrast and contrast-enhanced imaging. The order and report should support the vascular indication, examined extremity, and angiographic interpretation. Bill the global service without a component modifier, or report the interpretation with modifier 26 and the equipment-and-staff portion with modifier TC. CMS applies the diagnostic imaging multiple-procedure reduction to both the technical and professional 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.

73206 billing questions

How does this differ from a CT of the upper extremity?

This code is for an angiographic examination of upper extremity arteries. Codes 73200–73202 describe nonangiographic CT examinations of the upper extremity.

When is the without-and-with contrast code appropriate?

Use it when the documented CTA protocol includes imaging without contrast and after contrast administration. A study performed with only one contrast phase may fit a different code.

Can the interpretation and scan be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical portion. Billing without either modifier represents the global service.

How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect this service?

CMS applies the diagnostic imaging multiple-procedure reduction to both the technical and professional components when the rule applies.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

The order and imaging report should establish the vascular indication, the upper extremity examined, and acquisition both without and with contrast, with an angiographic interpretation.

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.
