What 75825 covers
This service covers radiographic imaging and interpretation of the inferior vena cava after contrast is introduced into the venous system, often with serial images to assess caval patency, narrowing, obstruction, or thrombus. Interventional radiologists and diagnostic radiologists commonly perform or interpret the study in a hospital imaging department or catheterization suite. A typical setting is cavography performed in connection with evaluation for an inferior vena cava filter or during a filter procedure; the code represents the imaging service, not filter placement itself.
Select the code when the imaged structure is the inferior vena cava, rather than a limb vein, renal vein, or superior vena cava. The report should identify the target anatomy, contrast imaging performed, and the radiologist’s findings and interpretation. Bill the global service without a component modifier, or report the professional 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.

75825 billing questions
How does 75825 differ from 75827?
75825 is for imaging the inferior vena cava. Use 75827 when the study images the superior vena cava.
Does this code include IVC filter placement?
No. It reports the radiologic imaging and interpretation, not placement of the filter.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Report the interpretation with modifier 26 and the equipment and staff portion with modifier TC; billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
What documentation supports reporting 75825?
Document that the inferior vena cava was imaged, the contrast study and images obtained, and the interpreting physician’s findings.
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.
