What 75880 covers

This service covers the physician’s supervision and interpretation of contrast imaging that demonstrates the veins within the orbit. It may be performed during a diagnostic evaluation of suspected orbital venous abnormality. A radiologist, often one working in a hospital or interventional radiology setting, reviews the images and documents the findings; the code is specific to orbital veins rather than veins of the skull, neck, or limbs.

Report 75880 when the documented study images orbital veins and the physician provides the corresponding interpretation. The report should identify the anatomy examined and describe the imaging findings. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: use modifier 26 for the interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or report the global service without either modifier. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component when applicable; it does not identify a reduction to the professional 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.

75880 billing questions

How does 75880 differ from 75870?

75880 is for venography of the orbital veins. 75870 is for venography of the cerebral venous sinus, so select according to the anatomy imaged and interpreted.

Which modifiers identify the components?

Append modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or TC for the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?

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

What should the report document?

Document that the study images orbital veins and include the physician’s interpretation of the findings. The anatomic site helps distinguish this service from venography of the skull or neck.

Does 75880 report the catheter access procedure?

No. This code represents radiological supervision and interpretation of orbital venography; it does not describe catheter placement or access.

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.
