About 75894: Transcatheter embolization imaging guidance
Radiological supervision and interpretation for catheter-directed embolization, documenting imaging used to guide and assess delivery of embolic material.
This service covers the physician’s imaging supervision and interpretation during catheter-directed embolization, in which embolic material is delivered through a catheter to occlude a vessel or target. Interventional radiologists and other physicians performing image-guided vascular procedures use imaging to guide catheter positioning, observe embolic delivery, and assess the result. The work takes place during the intervention, commonly in an angiography suite or hospital procedure room.
Report the service only when the applicable procedure coding permits separate reporting of its imaging work. Current embolization codes 37241–37244 include radiological supervision and interpretation; do not separately add 75894 to those services. Documentation should identify the embolization target, the imaging guidance and interpretation performed, and the findings relevant to the intervention. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the physician’s interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or neither modifier for the global service.
CMS billing rules for 75894
- 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.

75894 billing questions
Can 75894 be reported with CPT 37241–37244?
No. Those current embolization procedure codes include radiological supervision and interpretation, so 75894 should not be added for the same imaging work.
When should modifier 26 or TC be used?
Use modifier 26 for the physician’s professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What distinguishes 75894 from 75898?
75894 concerns imaging supervision and interpretation during embolization. 75898 describes follow-up angiography through an existing catheter after transcatheter therapy, embolization, or infusion.
What documentation supports this service?
Document the embolization target, imaging used to guide the catheter and embolic delivery, the physician’s interpretation, and the relevant procedural findings.
Is 75894 reported by time or by imaging views?
The code describes imaging supervision and interpretation for the embolization service, not a time-based service. The record should support the imaging work performed rather than a duration.
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.
