What 75820 covers

This service covers the radiologist’s imaging supervision and interpretation of a contrast venogram of one extremity. A clinician introduces contrast into the arm or leg veins, and radiographic images show the venous anatomy and blood flow. It may be performed to evaluate suspected venous obstruction or define the veins before a planned intervention. Radiologists and interventional radiologists commonly interpret these studies in hospital and outpatient imaging settings.

Select the code for a study of one arm or one leg; a bilateral extremity study is reported differently. The record should identify the imaged extremity and include the images and interpretation supporting the diagnostic findings. The injection procedure may be reported separately when performed and supported. Modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff; without either modifier, the code represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are reported, the CMS multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

75820 billing questions

When should this code be chosen instead of 75822?

Use this code for venography of one extremity. Code 75822 is for bilateral extremity venography.

Can the contrast injection be reported separately?

The extremity venography injection procedure may be separately reported with 36005 when performed and documented. This code represents the radiological supervision and interpretation.

How should the professional and technical services be billed?

Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or modifier TC for the technical service. Billing without either modifier represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document which arm or leg was examined, the contrast venography images, and the radiologist’s interpretation and findings.

Does a multiple-procedure reduction affect this code?

The CMS cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component when multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are reported.

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.
