What 73702 covers

This service covers CT imaging of a lower extremity, such as the foot, ankle, knee, or hip, performed first without contrast and then with contrast during the same examination. Radiologists interpret the images; technologists perform the scan in hospital imaging departments, outpatient imaging centers, and other CT-equipped settings. A combined protocol may be selected when the clinical question calls for both unenhanced and contrast-enhanced views, such as evaluating a suspected soft-tissue infection or mass.

Report this code for the combined examination rather than separately reporting the unenhanced and contrast-enhanced phases as individual CT studies. Documentation should identify the body region and support the need for both phases. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. When multiple diagnostic imaging services are performed, CMS's multiple-procedure reduction applies to both components. When imaging is performed on both sides, each side is paid separately at 100%.
