What 75887 covers
This service covers the radiologist’s interpretation of contrast images of the hepatic venous system without hemodynamic assessment. It is typically performed in an interventional radiology or hospital procedure setting, where a catheter is used to deliver contrast and image the hepatic veins. The study may help assess hepatic venous anatomy or patency, including in an evaluation of suspected outflow obstruction or during planning for a liver-related intervention.
Select this code when the documented imaging is hepatic venography and the service does not include hemodynamic evaluation. The report should identify the anatomy imaged and include the radiologist’s interpretation of the resulting images. Medicare recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or neither modifier for the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are reported, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

75887 billing questions
How does this differ from hepatic venography with hemodynamic evaluation?
Use 75887 when the hepatic venography is performed without hemodynamic evaluation. If the documented service includes that evaluation, select the applicable code for the hemodynamic study instead.
Can the professional and technical components 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.
Which component is affected by the multiple-procedure reduction?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not change how the professional interpretation is identified.
What documentation supports reporting 75887?
The record should support hepatic venous contrast imaging without hemodynamic evaluation and include the radiologist’s interpretation of the images.
Does this code describe catheter placement as well as image interpretation?
No. This code represents the radiologic service for the hepatic venography images. Do not treat it as documentation of catheter placement.
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.
