Cardiac catheterization
About 93568: Nonselective pulmonary artery angiography
Reports nonselective contrast angiography of the pulmonary artery performed during cardiac catheterization to assess pulmonary arterial anatomy.
During cardiac catheterization, the physician injects contrast into the main pulmonary artery or a right or left pulmonary artery without selectively catheterizing a more distal branch. The resulting images document pulmonary arterial anatomy and are interpreted as part of the angiographic service. Cardiologists most often perform this in a hospital catheterization laboratory when pulmonary artery anatomy needs evaluation alongside hemodynamic or other cardiac catheterization findings.
Report 93568 only as an add-on with an eligible primary catheterization procedure, not as a stand-alone service. The record should identify the pulmonary artery injection site and include the angiographic images and interpretation supporting the nonselective study. Distinguish this service from selective pulmonary angiography, which involves selective catheter placement. CMS pays this add-on within the primary procedure's global period; it is not separately paid outside that period.

93568 billing questions
How does 93568 differ from selective pulmonary angiography?
93568 describes a nonselective injection into the main or right or left pulmonary artery. Selective pulmonary angiography uses catheter placement into a selected pulmonary artery.
Can 93568 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on and must be reported with an eligible primary cardiac catheterization procedure.
What documentation supports 93568?
Document the pulmonary artery injection site, the angiographic images, and the physician's interpretation. The record should support that the study was nonselective.
Is 93568 paid separately from the primary catheterization?
CMS pays it within the primary procedure's global period. It cannot be reported as a stand-alone service outside that primary procedure.
Should 93568 be selected for pulmonary venous imaging?
No. 93568 concerns pulmonary arterial angiography; pulmonary venous angiography is a different service.
