What 93574 covers

During cardiac catheterization, the cardiologist positions a catheter to selectively inject contrast into pulmonary veins and records images that show venous anatomy and blood flow. The study may help evaluate suspected pulmonary vein narrowing or obstruction, or define abnormal venous drainage. It is typically performed in a cardiac catheterization laboratory by a cardiologist experienced in invasive imaging.

Report 93574 only with a primary catheterization procedure; it is an add-on, not a stand-alone service. Documentation should identify the selectively catheterized pulmonary vein or veins, the clinical reason for imaging, the contrast injection and resulting images, and the interpretation. The imaging supervision, interpretation, and report are part of this angiographic service. CMS pays this add-on within the global period of the primary procedure, so it is not paid as a separate service outside that 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.

93574 billing questions

Can 93574 be reported by itself?

No. It is an add-on for selective pulmonary venous angiography during cardiac catheterization and must be billed with a primary procedure.

How is this different from pulmonary artery angiography?

93574 depicts pulmonary veins after selective venous catheterization. Codes such as 93569 and 93573 describe selective imaging of pulmonary arteries.

What documentation supports reporting 93574?

Document the pulmonary vein selectively catheterized, the reason for the study, the contrast injection and images, and the physician’s interpretation.

Is the interpretation separately reported?

The imaging supervision, interpretation, and report are included in the angiographic service represented by 93574.

How does CMS pay this add-on?

CMS pays 93574 only with a primary catheterization procedure and within that procedure’s global period.

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.
