What 75872 covers

This service represents the physician’s interpretation of contrast images showing veins in the epidural space. It may be performed by a radiologist or interventional radiologist in a hospital or other procedural imaging setting as part of a diagnostic venous study. The report should identify the epidural venous territory examined and describe the relevant imaging findings.

Report the code for the epidural venous imaging interpretation, not simply for catheter placement or contrast administration. The documentation should support that the study was performed and include a signed interpretation. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation; modifier TC identifies the equipment-and-staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service. When the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies, it affects 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.

75872 billing questions

How does this differ from 75870?

75872 is for imaging of the epidural venous system. Code 75870 is for intracranial venous imaging, so select by the venous territory studied.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Report modifier 26 for the physician’s interpretation or modifier TC for the equipment-and-staff portion. Billing without a modifier represents the global service.

Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?

The CMS cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component.

What documentation supports reporting 75872?

The record should establish that epidural venous contrast imaging was performed and include the interpreting physician’s findings. A catheterization or injection entry alone does not document the interpretation.

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.
