Diagnostic radiology

About 75822: Bilateral extremity venography

Reports contrast venography with X-ray interpretation of veins in both arms or both legs to assess venous anatomy, obstruction, or abnormal flow.

This service captures contrast-enhanced X-ray images of veins in both arms or both legs. A radiologist or interventional radiologist interprets the images, often after contrast is introduced into peripheral veins. The study can help assess suspected venous obstruction, define collateral pathways, or map venous anatomy when a more detailed examination is needed. The report should identify the imaged sides and region and document the findings and interpretation.

Report 75822 for bilateral extremity venography; the code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and no component modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. Documentation should support the bilateral examination and the medical reason for contrast venography.

75822 billing questions

When should 75822 be selected instead of 75820?

Use 75822 for venography of both sides of the examined extremity region. Code 75820 is for a unilateral extremity study.

Should modifier 50 be added for the bilateral study?

The code is already priced as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment under the CMS facts for this code.

How are the professional and technical services reported?

Use modifier 26 for the physician's interpretation and modifier TC for the equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?

The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component of this service.

Can the venous injection procedure be reported separately?

Code 36005 describes the injection procedure for extremity venography and may be reported with 75822 when that service is performed and documented.
