Cardiac catheterization
About 93567: Supravalvular aortic angiography injection
Reports contrast injection above the aortic valve during cardiac catheterization to image the aortic root or ascending aorta, such as when evaluating aortic regurgitation.
This service captures a contrast injection into the aorta above the valve during cardiac catheterization, with imaging of the aortic root or ascending aorta. A cardiologist typically performs it in a cardiac catheterization laboratory when the study calls for an angiographic view of the aorta, such as to assess suspected aortic regurgitation or aortic root anatomy. It is distinct from injections that image the left ventricle, coronary arteries, or pulmonary arteries.
Report 93567 only with a primary cardiac catheterization procedure; it is an add-on, not a stand-alone service. Documentation should identify the supravalvular aortic injection and support why the resulting images were obtained, with the associated catheterization findings and images available in the record. CMS pays this add-on within the global period of the primary procedure. Do not use it for aortic images that were not produced by the described supravalvular injection during cardiac catheterization.

93567 billing questions
What distinguishes 93567 from left ventriculography?
93567 represents contrast injected into the aorta above the valve to image the aortic root or ascending aorta. Left ventriculography images the left ventricular chamber and is represented by a different injection service.
Can 93567 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with a primary cardiac catheterization procedure.
How is 93567 different from 93568?
93567 is for supravalvular aortic imaging. 93568 represents a nonselective pulmonary artery angiographic injection.
What documentation supports reporting 93567?
Document the contrast injection above the aortic valve, the reason for obtaining the aortic images, and the relevant imaging findings.
When is payment for 93567 made?
CMS pays this add-on within the global period of its associated primary procedure.
