What 75741 covers
This service covers imaging of the pulmonary arteries on one side after a catheter is directed into a selected pulmonary artery and contrast is injected under imaging guidance. An interventional radiologist or cardiologist may perform and interpret the study, often during evaluation of pulmonary embolism or another pulmonary vascular abnormality. The service includes the radiological supervision and interpretation of the angiographic images, rather than catheter placement alone.
Choose this code for a selective unilateral pulmonary study; bilateral selective imaging and nonselective pulmonary imaging have different codes. The report should identify the side and vessels examined and include the angiographic findings and interpretation. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, modifier TC identifies the technical service, and no modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the CMS multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

How to choose
- 75743Pulmonary angiographyBilateral selective study
- Use 75743 when the selective pulmonary angiographic examination covers both sides; use 75741 for a unilateral selective study.
- 75746Pulmonary angiographyNonselective injection
- 75746 is for nonselective pulmonary angiography. This code describes selective imaging on one side.
- 75774Arterial imagingEach additional vessel
- 75774 reports each additional selectively studied vessel after a basic angiographic examination. It is an add-on, not a substitute for the primary unilateral pulmonary study.
75741 billing questions
How does this differ from 75743?
75741 is for selective pulmonary angiography on one side. Use 75743 when the selective study covers both sides.
When is 75746 a better fit?
75746 describes nonselective pulmonary angiography. This code is for selective imaging on one side.
Which modifier identifies the interpretation?
Use modifier 26 for the professional component, including supervision and interpretation. Modifier TC identifies the technical component; an unmodified claim represents the global service.
Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?
The CMS cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not describe a reduction to the professional component.
Can 75774 be reported with this study?
75774 is an add-on for selective angiography of each additional vessel studied after a basic examination. Report it only when additional selective vessel imaging is performed and documented.
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.
