What 75827 covers

This service covers the radiologic supervision and interpretation of contrast imaging of the superior vena cava. A radiologist or interventional physician reviews the images to assess the central chest vein, including its patency, narrowing, obstruction, or collateral flow. The study may be performed in an angiography suite or another setting equipped for catheter-based vascular imaging, with contrast introduced through a catheter.

Select this code when the imaged venous structure is the superior vena cava, rather than the inferior vena cava or peripheral veins. The record should identify the anatomy studied and include the imaging findings and the interpreting physician’s report. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation; modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service. CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction to the technical component when applicable.

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.

75827 billing questions

How does this differ from code 75825?

Use 75827 for imaging of the superior vena cava. Code 75825 describes imaging of the inferior vena cava.

Which modifier identifies the interpretation?

Append modifier 26 for the professional interpretation. Modifier TC identifies the technical service; billing without a modifier represents the global service.

Is catheter placement included in this code?

This code represents the imaging supervision and interpretation, not catheter introduction. A separately performed vena cava catheter placement may be reported with 36010 when supported by the service and documentation.

How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect billing?

CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction to the technical component. The rule concerns the technical portion of the service.

What documentation supports reporting 75827?

Document that the superior vena cava was imaged, the study findings, and the interpreting physician’s report. The record should distinguish the SVC from other venous territories.

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.
