Angiography
About 75731: Unilateral adrenal artery angiography
Reports catheter-based contrast imaging of arterial supply to one adrenal gland when diagnostic evaluation requires angiographic detail of that side.
This study uses catheter-delivered contrast and X-ray imaging to show arterial supply to one adrenal gland. An interventional radiologist or other physician qualified to perform angiography typically conducts it in a hospital angiography suite. The study may be used when clinicians need to assess an adrenal arterial abnormality, vascular anatomy, or a suspected source of bleeding; it describes diagnostic imaging, not treatment of the vessel.
Report 75731 for the unilateral study; use 75733 when both adrenal sides are imaged. The record should identify the side examined, catheter position and contrast imaging performed, and include the physician’s interpretation and clinical indication. The code has professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation, TC for equipment and staff, or neither for the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the CMS multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

- Professional and technical components
- Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.

75731 billing questions
When should 75731 be chosen instead of 75733?
Use 75731 when the angiographic study examines one adrenal side. Use 75733 when the study images both sides.
Can the interpretation and imaging service be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and TC identifies the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports reporting 75731?
Document the unilateral side studied, catheter position, contrast images obtained, clinical indication, and the interpreting physician’s findings.
Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect the whole service?
The CMS cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the supplied payment rule.
How does 75774 relate to 75731?
75774 may be reported as an add-on when additional selective vessel imaging is performed beyond the primary angiographic study, with documentation supporting the additional vessel examination.
Where these rates come from
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.
