What 93565 covers

During cardiac catheterization, the cardiologist directs contrast into the left ventricle or left atrium and interprets the resulting angiographic images. The study may help evaluate chamber size, motion, or structural findings when that information is needed during the catheterization. It is typically performed in a hospital cardiac catheterization laboratory by the physician conducting the procedure.

Report 93565 only with an applicable primary cardiac catheterization procedure; it is not a stand-alone service. The record should identify the chamber selectively imaged, the contrast injection, and the clinical findings assessed. Distinguish this left-sided chamber study from injections for coronary arteries, bypass grafts, or right-sided chambers. CMS treats 93565 as an add-on, with payment within the primary procedure's global period.

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.

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.
