What 75572 covers

This service uses contrast-enhanced computed tomography to assess cardiac anatomy and morphology. It may be ordered to examine structures such as the heart chambers, valves, pericardium, or a suspected cardiac mass. A radiology or cardiology imaging team acquires the study, and a qualified physician interprets the images. Three-dimensional image postprocessing, when performed as part of the study, is included in the service.

Select this code when the clinical question centers on cardiac structure and morphology. Use a coronary CT angiography code when the target is the coronary arteries, and a calcium-scoring code when the study evaluates coronary calcium without contrast. Documentation should identify the clinical indication, contrast-enhanced cardiac CT protocol, and physician interpretation. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or neither for the global service. When the applicable multiple-procedure reduction applies, it affects both the technical and professional components.
