CT imaging
Reports CT evaluation of an upper extremity performed with contrast, such as imaging to assess a soft-tissue mass, infection, or injury.
This service is a CT examination of an upper extremity, such as an arm or hand, performed with contrast material. It may be used to evaluate findings such as a soft-tissue mass, suspected infection, or injury when cross-sectional imaging with contrast is requested. A radiologist typically interprets the images; the technical work is performed by imaging staff using CT equipment in a hospital or outpatient imaging setting.
Choose this code when the examination uses contrast without also acquiring images without contrast. When both without- and with-contrast imaging are performed, the corresponding combined-protocol code is 73202. The order and report should support the clinical indication, the upper-extremity anatomy examined, laterality, and contrast protocol. The global service is reported without a component modifier; modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff service. CMS applies diagnostic imaging multiple-procedure reductions to both components. For bilateral examinations, each side is paid separately at 100%.

Report 73201 for an upper-extremity CT performed with contrast only. If images are acquired both without and with contrast, use 73202.
73201 is a contrast-enhanced CT examination of the upper extremity. Use 73206 when the study is a CT angiographic examination of the upper-extremity vessels.
Yes. Report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or modifier TC for the technical service; reporting without either modifier represents the global service.
When both sides are examined, each side is paid separately at 100% under the CMS bilateral rule.
The order and imaging report should identify the clinical reason, the upper-extremity anatomy and side examined, and that contrast was used without a without-contrast acquisition.
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
