About 72193: Pelvic CT with contrast
Reports CT imaging of the pelvis performed with contrast, commonly to evaluate pelvic pain, a suspected mass, infection, or other soft-tissue findings.
This service is a computed tomography examination focused on the pelvis, performed with contrast material to help distinguish organs, soft tissues, vessels, and abnormal findings. A technologist acquires the images, and a radiologist or other qualified physician interprets them and documents the findings. Common clinical questions include whether a pelvic mass, inflammatory process, or collection is present; the ordering indication and imaging protocol determine the examination performed.
Select this code when the documented pelvic CT protocol uses contrast without the combined precontrast-and-postcontrast approach represented by 72194. The order, technologist record, and final report should support the pelvic anatomy examined and the contrast protocol actually performed. The service has professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the interpretation, modifier TC for the equipment and staff service, or neither modifier when billing the global service. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to both the technical and professional components.

72193 billing questions
How does this differ from 72192?
72193 describes a pelvic CT performed with contrast. Use 72192 when the examination is performed without contrast.
When is 72194 a better fit?
Use 72194 when the pelvic CT protocol includes images both without and with contrast. This code represents the contrast-enhanced examination without that combined protocol.
Can the interpretation and scan 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 imaging reduction affect both components?
Yes. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical and professional components.
What documentation supports reporting 72193?
The record should establish the clinical reason for imaging, the pelvis as the examination area, and the contrast protocol performed. The imaging report should document the findings and interpretation.
