Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 73706 covers

A CT technologist acquires noncontrast and postcontrast images of the lower-extremity arteries, with image processing to support vascular assessment. A radiologist or other qualified physician interprets the study. Common clinical situations include peripheral arterial disease, acute limb ischemia, and arterial injury, when clinicians need to define arterial anatomy for treatment planning. The examination focuses on vessels rather than routine assessment of bones, joints, or soft tissues and may be performed in a hospital imaging department or outpatient imaging center.

Select this code when the examination includes both noncontrast and postcontrast CT angiographic imaging of the lower extremity. Document the clinical indication, side examined, imaging performed, and interpretation. The global service includes the technical acquisition and professional interpretation; modifier 26 identifies the professional component, and modifier TC identifies the technical component. CMS applies the diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction to both components. When both sides are performed, CMS pays each side separately at 100%.
