Cardiac imaging
About 75573: Congenital heart CT with contrast
Contrast-enhanced cardiac CT evaluates congenital heart anatomy, including complex chamber, great-vessel, and venous relationships when detailed structural imaging is needed.
This examination uses contrast-enhanced computed tomography to map cardiac structures in congenital heart disease. It can show chamber connections, great vessels, and venous anatomy, with three-dimensional image processing and functional assessment when performed. Radiologists commonly interpret the study in coordination with congenital cardiologists or cardiac surgeons. It may be used to define anatomy in a patient with a known or suspected congenital defect or to support procedural planning when detailed cross-sectional imaging is needed.
Choose this code for a congenital heart disease evaluation, rather than a general cardiac morphology study or a coronary-focused CT angiogram. The report should establish the congenital indication and document the structures assessed and interpretation; the imaging record should support the contrast-enhanced cardiac study. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or neither for the global service. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to both the technical and professional components.

75573 billing questions
When is 75573 a better fit than 75572?
Use 75573 when the CT is specifically evaluating congenital heart disease. Code 75572 is for cardiac morphology imaging without that congenital-heart evaluation focus.
How does 75573 differ from 75574?
75573 evaluates congenital cardiac anatomy; 75574 is a coronary CT angiography service. Select based on the examination's documented purpose and protocol.
Can the professional and technical portions 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 the multiple procedure reduction affect both components?
Yes. CMS applies the diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction to both the technical and professional components.
What documentation supports reporting 75573?
Document the congenital heart disease indication, the cardiac structures evaluated, and the interpreting physician's findings. The record should support a contrast-enhanced cardiac CT 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.
