Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 93573 covers

During cardiac catheterization, the operator selectively positions a catheter in the pulmonary arteries and injects contrast to image both sides. The resulting angiographic views can help define pulmonary artery anatomy, including abnormalities relevant to congenital heart disease. A congenital cardiologist or other physician performing the catheterization typically carries out the injections and interprets the images in a cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Report 93573 as an add-on only with an eligible primary cardiac catheterization procedure, not as a standalone service. Choose it when selective pulmonary arterial angiography is performed bilaterally; unilateral selective imaging is represented by a different code, while nonselective imaging uses another approach. The record should support selective catheter placement, contrast injections into both pulmonary arterial systems, the images obtained, and the physician’s interpretation. CMS identifies this as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period.
