What 75573 covers

This examination uses contrast-enhanced computed tomography to map cardiac structures in congenital heart disease. It can show chamber connections, great vessels, and venous anatomy, with three-dimensional image processing and functional assessment when performed. Radiologists commonly interpret the study in coordination with congenital cardiologists or cardiac surgeons. It may be used to define anatomy in a patient with a known or suspected congenital defect or to support procedural planning when detailed cross-sectional imaging is needed.

Choose this code for a congenital heart disease evaluation, rather than a general cardiac morphology study or a coronary-focused CT angiogram. The report should establish the congenital indication and document the structures assessed and interpretation; the imaging record should support the contrast-enhanced cardiac study. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or neither for the global service. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to both the technical and professional components.
