CPT code 75716: Extremity angiography, both extremities2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in California

Medicare pays $168.91–$206.31 for 75716 in the office in California, from Chico, CA to San Benito County, CA. Which amount applies depends on the service address.

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

What 75716 covers

This service covers angiographic imaging of arteries in both extremities, using contrast and X-ray images to show arterial anatomy and blood flow. It is commonly performed in an angiography suite or hospital catheterization lab when a clinician is evaluating peripheral arterial disease, limb ischemia, or suspected arterial obstruction. A radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other qualified physician interprets the images and documents the findings.

Select this code when the angiographic study includes both extremities; a study limited to one extremity is reported with the unilateral code instead. The record should identify the sides and vessels imaged and include an interpretation of the angiographic findings. The global service includes the professional interpretation and technical work. Modifier 26 reports the interpretation, while modifier TC reports the equipment and staff; without either modifier, the claim represents the global service. The bilateral service is already reflected in the code, and modifier 50 does not increase payment. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
