What 75885 covers
An interventional radiologist typically performs this catheter-based study in a hospital or other procedural setting. Contrast imaging depicts the hepatic veins, while pressure measurements provide hemodynamic information about hepatic venous outflow and portal hypertension. The service may be part of an evaluation of liver disease or portal hypertension; the report should identify the venous imaging and pressure assessment actually performed.
Report this code when hepatic venography includes hemodynamic evaluation, rather than imaging alone. Documentation should support the hepatic venous study and its pressure evaluation. The code has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff, and no modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

How to choose
- 75887Hepatic venography
- Choose 75885 when hepatic venography includes hemodynamic evaluation. Choose 75887 when the hepatic venography is performed without it.
- 75893Venous sampling
- 75893 represents venous sampling by catheter. It is not the hepatic venography and pressure-evaluation service reported with 75885.
75885 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 75887?
Use 75885 when hepatic venography includes hemodynamic evaluation. Code 75887 represents hepatic venography without that evaluation.
Can the professional and technical services be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Does a multiple-procedure reduction affect this service?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component when multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed.
What documentation supports reporting 75885?
The record should establish that hepatic venography was performed and that the service included hemodynamic evaluation, such as pressure assessment. Imaging alone supports the non-hemodynamic hepatic venography code instead.
Is this code for venous blood sampling?
No. It represents hepatic venography with hemodynamic evaluation; catheter-based venous sampling is a distinct service.
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.
