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

What 75600 covers

This service covers contrast imaging of the thoracic aorta and the physician’s radiological supervision and interpretation. It may be performed in a hospital angiography suite or an outpatient catheterization setting to evaluate the aorta’s anatomy or suspected disease, such as an aneurysm or dissection. The defining distinction from the related serial-imaging code is that this examination is performed without serialography. A radiologist or another qualified physician interprets the images.

Choose the code based on the imaging performed, not simply the suspected diagnosis. The report should identify the thoracic aortic coverage, describe the contrast examination and findings, and support that serial imaging was not performed. Report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or TC for the technical service; reporting without either modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are reported, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to this code’s technical component. Catheter placement is distinct from the imaging interpretation and may be separately reported when appropriate.
