About 75891: Hepatic venous contrast imaging
Radiologist-supervised contrast imaging of the liver’s venous circulation, reported when the performed hepatic venography service matches this code.
This service covers radiological supervision and interpretation of contrast x-ray imaging of veins in the liver. A radiologist interprets the images to assess hepatic venous anatomy and contrast flow, such as when clinicians investigate suspected abnormal venous drainage or obstruction. The study is typically performed in a hospital or other facility as part of a catheter-based diagnostic evaluation; the imaging professional service is distinct from the equipment and staff used to obtain the images.
Select the code that matches the hepatic venography actually performed, including whether the study includes hemodynamic evaluation and any other distinctions in the applicable code family. The report should identify the liver venous study and describe the interpretation; the procedure record supports the imaging performed. Bill globally when one entity provides both components, or use modifier 26 for interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service when those components are billed separately. The cardiovascular diagnostic 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.

75891 billing questions
How does this differ from 75887?
Both concern hepatic venous imaging, but 75887 identifies the hepatic study without hemodynamic evaluation. Use the code that corresponds to the service and distinctions documented in the procedure record.
Can the professional and technical services be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff service. Billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Does the multiple procedure reduction affect both components?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the CMS rule provided for this code.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
The record should identify the hepatic venous contrast study performed and include the radiologist’s interpretation. The procedure documentation should also support any distinction from related hepatic venography services, such as whether hemodynamic evaluation was performed.
Is this code for venous sampling?
No. Hepatic venography reports contrast imaging of veins; 75893 describes venous sampling by catheter, a different service.
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.
