About 75898: Catheter-based therapeutic follow-up angiography
Reports catheter-based follow-up angiographic imaging after transcatheter embolization or nonthrombolytic infusion to evaluate treatment effect and vessel flow.
An interventional radiologist typically performs this imaging in an angiography suite after transcatheter embolization or catheter-directed infusion. The provider uses a catheter already in place to obtain follow-up angiographic images of the treated area, such as an embolized vessel, and evaluates flow and the treatment result. The code describes the follow-up imaging service, not the embolic or infusion treatment itself.
Report 75898 when documentation supports a follow-up angiographic study through the existing catheter in connection with transcatheter therapy, embolization, or infusion other than thrombolysis. The record should identify the treated site, the follow-up images obtained, and the interpreting findings. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff, and reporting without either modifier represents the global service when one entity provides both components.

75898 billing questions
When should I choose 75898 instead of a diagnostic angiography code?
Use 75898 for catheter-based follow-up imaging related to transcatheter therapy, embolization, or nonthrombolytic infusion. A diagnostic angiography code describes a diagnostic study rather than this treatment follow-up.
Can 75898 be reported with an embolization service?
It may be reported with the embolization service when a follow-up angiographic study through the existing catheter is performed and documented. The follow-up imaging is distinct from the embolization treatment itself.
Which modifiers identify the components?
Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical component, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Does 75898 describe the infusion or embolization treatment?
No. It describes the follow-up angiographic imaging and interpretation; the transcatheter treatment is represented separately.
What documentation supports reporting 75898?
Document the existing catheter, the treated site, the follow-up angiographic images, and the findings used to assess vessel flow or treatment effect.
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.
