CPT code 75743: Pulmonary angiography, bilateral selective study2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in California

Medicare pays $153.08–$188.28 for 75743 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 75743 covers

This service covers diagnostic contrast imaging of the pulmonary arteries on both sides after selective catheter positioning. The operator injects contrast under fluoroscopy and obtains images that show pulmonary arterial anatomy and flow; a radiologist or the procedural physician interprets the study. It is used in settings such as an angiography suite when clinicians need detailed assessment of pulmonary vessels, including evaluation for chronic thromboembolic disease or another suspected pulmonary vascular abnormality.

Report the bilateral selective study when both pulmonary arterial sides are imaged, and retain documentation of the catheterized vessels, contrast injections, images, and interpretation. The code represents the imaging service; report catheter placement separately when supported. Medicare allows professional component reporting with modifier 26 and technical component reporting with modifier TC; without either modifier, the service is global. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
