75625 Abdominal aortography Medicare reimbursement rates in Pennsylvania

This service captures contrast X-ray images of the abdominal aorta after contrast is introduced through an arterial catheter. A radiologist, interventional radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other qualified physician interprets the images, commonly in an angiography suite or catheterization laboratory during evaluation of an aneurysm, aortic narrowing, or aortoiliac disease. The study focuses on the abdominal aorta; it is not the code for imaging that includes bilateral lower-extremity runoff.

Select the code when the documented contrast study evaluates the abdominal aorta, and retain the images and interpretation supporting the anatomy examined and findings. The code has professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the interpretation, modifier TC for the equipment and staff, or neither modifier for the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are reported, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. This code represents the imaging service, not catheter placement; assess any catheterization coding separately based on the documented work and applicable coding rules.
