What 73725 covers

This study uses magnetic resonance imaging to depict arteries in the lower extremity, with a protocol that may be performed without contrast or with contrast. It is used to assess concerns such as peripheral arterial narrowing or occlusion and to map vessels for treatment planning. Imaging technologists acquire the study in a hospital or outpatient imaging center; a physician, commonly a radiologist, interprets the images and provides a report.

Report the code for an MR angiographic examination of the lower-extremity arteries, and document the clinical indication, anatomic coverage, side or sides examined, contrast protocol, and interpretation. Medicare payment is restricted to specific circumstances, so the record must support coverage under applicable requirements. Billing without a component modifier represents the global service; modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the technical service. If diagnostic imaging multiple-procedure reduction applies, it affects both components. When both sides are performed, each side is paid separately at 100%.

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.

73725 billing questions

When is this code a better fit than a lower-extremity MRI code?

Use this code when the examination is MR angiography of lower-extremity arteries. Codes such as 73720 describe MRI evaluation of the extremity rather than an angiographic arterial study.

Can the study be performed without contrast?

Yes. The code covers an MR angiographic examination performed without contrast or with contrast; the documented protocol should reflect what was performed.

How should the professional and technical services be billed?

Report the global service without a component modifier. Use modifier 26 for the physician's interpretation or modifier TC for the technical service, including equipment and staff.

How does Medicare handle bilateral examinations?

When both lower extremities are examined, CMS pays each side separately at 100%. Document the sides examined and follow the applicable claim-reporting instructions.

What happens when other diagnostic imaging is performed in the same session?

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

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.
