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.

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.

75572 billing questions

When should I choose 75572 instead of coronary CT angiography?

Use 75572 when the study evaluates cardiac structure and morphology. When the imaging target is the coronary arteries, consider 75574 instead.

Is 3D postprocessing separately reported?

Three-dimensional postprocessing performed for this cardiac CT is included in 75572. Do not report it separately for the same study.

Which modifiers identify the professional and technical services?

Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Reporting the code without either modifier represents the global service.

How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect this code?

When the diagnostic imaging multiple-procedure reduction applies, CMS applies it to both the technical and professional components of 75572.

How does 75572 differ from the congenital heart disease CT code?

75572 is for evaluating cardiac structure and morphology. Use 75573 when the cardiac CT is specifically for congenital heart disease.

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.
