What 75710 covers
75710 represents diagnostic contrast angiography of arteries in one extremity—one arm or one leg—with radiographic imaging and physician interpretation. The study can show stenosis, occlusion, aneurysm, or collateral circulation in a limb evaluated for ischemia, injury, or vascular procedural planning. Interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and other physicians who perform angiography commonly provide it in an angiography suite. It describes the diagnostic angiographic service, not angioplasty or stent placement.
Select the code when the angiographic examination covers one extremity; use 75716 when both extremities are examined. The report should identify the imaged limb and arterial territory, describe the angiographic findings, and support the medical reason for the study. Medicare allows modifier 26 for the professional interpretation, modifier TC for the technical service, or no modifier for the global service. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
