Cardiac catheterization
About 93461: Combined heart catheterization with graft angiography
Reports combined right and left heart catheterization with coronary and bypass graft angiography, typically when evaluating a patient with prior coronary bypass surgery.
This service combines right- and left-sided heart catheterization with coronary artery and bypass graft angiography. The cardiologist records pressure and hemodynamic information from both sides of the heart and uses catheter-based contrast imaging to assess native coronary arteries and bypass grafts. Left ventriculography may also be performed. It is typically done in a cardiac catheterization laboratory for patients with known or suspected coronary disease and prior bypass surgery when both heart pressures and coronary or graft anatomy need assessment.
Report the code when the documented service includes right and left heart catheterization plus coronary and bypass graft angiography; document the catheter placements, studies performed, and imaging interpretation. The diagnostic service may be billed globally or as a professional component with modifier 26 or a technical component with modifier TC. It has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this anatomy. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires medical-necessity documentation; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

93461 billing questions
How does 93461 differ from 93460?
93461 includes bypass graft angiography along with coronary angiography and combined right and left heart catheterization. Use 93460 when the service includes coronary angiography but not bypass graft angiography.
Can modifier 26 or TC be reported?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service; billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. The anatomy and service represented by 93461 make modifier 50 inappropriate.
What documentation supports reporting 93461?
Document right- and left-sided catheterization, coronary angiography, and bypass graft angiography, along with the catheter placements and imaging interpretation. Include ventriculography when performed.
How are multiple procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in that session are paid at 50% under the standard multiple procedure reduction.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this 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.
