What 75746 covers
This service covers radiographic imaging and interpretation of the pulmonary arterial circulation after contrast is injected from a nonselective catheter position. It can help evaluate pulmonary arterial anatomy or suspected obstruction. The study is typically performed in a hospital angiography or catheterization suite by an interventional radiologist or cardiologist, with images and a diagnostic interpretation documented in the record.
Choose this code when the pulmonary angiogram is nonselective; selective catheter placement and imaging of one or both sides belong to different pulmonary angiography codes. The report should identify the catheter position, contrast study, images obtained, and findings. The service may be billed globally, or the interpretation with modifier 26 and the equipment and staff portion with modifier TC. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

How to choose
- 75741Pulmonary angiographyUnilateral selective
- Use 75741 for selective unilateral pulmonary angiography. Code 75746 describes nonselective imaging, without selective catheterization of a pulmonary branch.
- 75743Pulmonary angiographyBilateral selective study
- Use 75743 for selective bilateral pulmonary angiography. The distinction from 75746 is selective branch catheterization, not simply the number of images.
- 93568Pulmonary angiographyNonselective injection
- 93568 is used for pulmonary angiography performed during cardiac catheterization as an injection procedure. Evaluate that context separately from a standalone pulmonary angiogram.
75746 billing questions
How does this differ from 75741 or 75743?
75746 is for nonselective pulmonary angiography. Use 75741 or 75743 when the pulmonary angiography is selective and unilateral or bilateral, respectively.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical portion; without a modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Which portion is affected by the cardiovascular multiple procedure reduction?
The reduction applies to the technical component. It does not reduce the professional component.
What documentation supports reporting 75746?
Document the nonselective catheter position, the contrast imaging performed, and the interpretation of the pulmonary arterial findings.
Is 75746 the right code for pulmonary angiography during cardiac catheterization?
When pulmonary angiography is performed as an injection procedure during cardiac catheterization, compare the service with 93568 rather than assuming the standalone angiography code applies.
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.
