What 75625 covers
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.

- 75635 describes CT angiography of the abdominal aorta and bilateral iliofemoral arteries. 75625 is catheter-based contrast X-ray imaging of the abdominal aorta.
- 75600Thoracic aortography
- 75600 is used for thoracic aortic contrast imaging. 75625 covers the abdominal aorta.
75625 billing questions
When should 75625 be chosen instead of 75630?
Use 75625 for abdominal aortic imaging without the bilateral iliofemoral runoff included in 75630. When the documented study extends through that runoff, consider 75630 instead.
Can the professional and technical components be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service; billing without either modifier represents the global service.
How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect 75625?
For multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures, the reduction applies to the technical component. It does not apply to the professional component under the CMS rule provided for this code.
What documentation supports reporting 75625?
Documentation should support a contrast X-ray examination of the abdominal aorta and include the images and physician interpretation identifying the anatomy evaluated and findings.
Is 75625 reported per image or for the study?
It represents the abdominal aortic imaging study, not a separate unit for each image. Do not count individual views as separate services.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
