About 74410: Intravenous urography with contrast infusion
Reports intravenous urography using contrast infusion and/or bolus injection to image the urinary tract, with or without a KUB radiograph.
This study uses intravenous contrast administered by infusion, bolus injection, or both, followed by radiographs of the urinary tract. The images assess the kidneys and collecting system, ureters, and bladder; a KUB may be included. It may be used to evaluate urinary tract anatomy or suspected obstruction. Radiology staff acquire the images, and a qualified physician, typically a radiologist, interprets the examination and documents the findings in an imaging setting.
Select 74410 when the intravenous urography includes infusion and/or bolus contrast administration and does not include nephrotomography; use 74415 when nephrotomography is performed. The report and imaging documentation should support the study performed, contrast administration method, and whether a KUB was obtained. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff services, and reporting without either modifier represents the global service.

74410 billing questions
How is 74410 different from 74400?
74410 describes intravenous urography with contrast administered by infusion and/or bolus. Use 74400 for the corresponding study without that infusion or bolus feature.
When should 74415 be used instead?
Use 74415 when the intravenous urography includes nephrotomography. The presence of infusion or bolus administration alone does not make the study 74415.
Which modifier identifies the interpretation?
Append modifier 26 for the professional interpretation. Modifier TC identifies the technical service, while reporting without either modifier represents the global service.
Does the code require a KUB?
No. The study may include a KUB, but the code covers intravenous urography with or without one.
What should the imaging record support?
Documentation should establish that intravenous urography was performed, indicate whether contrast was administered by infusion, bolus, or both, and show whether a KUB was obtained.
