What 75743 covers
This service covers diagnostic contrast imaging of the pulmonary arteries on both sides after selective catheter positioning. The operator injects contrast under fluoroscopy and obtains images that show pulmonary arterial anatomy and flow; a radiologist or the procedural physician interprets the study. It is used in settings such as an angiography suite when clinicians need detailed assessment of pulmonary vessels, including evaluation for chronic thromboembolic disease or another suspected pulmonary vascular abnormality.
Report the bilateral selective study when both pulmonary arterial sides are imaged, and retain documentation of the catheterized vessels, contrast injections, images, and interpretation. The code represents the imaging service; report catheter placement separately when supported. Medicare allows professional component reporting with modifier 26 and technical component reporting with modifier TC; without either modifier, the service is global. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.

How to choose
- 75741Pulmonary angiography
- Use 75741 for selective pulmonary angiography on one side; use 75743 when the selective study includes both sides.
- 75746Pulmonary angiography
- 75746 describes nonselective pulmonary angiography. 75743 is the bilateral selective study, with selective catheter positioning.
- 75774Arterial imaging
- 75774 is for additional selective vessel imaging after a basic angiographic examination, not the bilateral pulmonary study itself.
75743 billing questions
How does this differ from 75741?
75743 describes a bilateral selective pulmonary angiographic study. Use 75741 when the selective study is unilateral.
When would 75746 be more appropriate?
75746 is for nonselective pulmonary angiography. This code is for selective imaging of both pulmonary arterial sides.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or TC for the technical service; without a component modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Should modifier 50 be appended for imaging both sides?
No. CMS prices 75743 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Which portion is subject to the cardiovascular multiple procedure reduction?
The reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the CMS rule supplied for this code.
What documentation supports reporting the bilateral selective study?
Document selective catheter positions, contrast injections and images from both pulmonary arterial sides, and the physician's 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.
