Radiology
About 75716: Bilateral extremity angiography
Reports angiographic imaging of both extremities to assess arterial anatomy, such as peripheral arterial disease, limb ischemia, or arterial obstruction.
This service covers angiographic imaging of arteries in both extremities, using contrast and X-ray images to show arterial anatomy and blood flow. It is commonly performed in an angiography suite or hospital catheterization lab when a clinician is evaluating peripheral arterial disease, limb ischemia, or suspected arterial obstruction. A radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other qualified physician interprets the images and documents the findings.
Select this code when the angiographic study includes both extremities; a study limited to one extremity is reported with the unilateral code instead. The record should identify the sides and vessels imaged and include an interpretation of the angiographic findings. The global service includes the professional interpretation and technical work. Modifier 26 reports the interpretation, while modifier TC reports the equipment and staff; without either modifier, the claim represents the global service. The bilateral service is already reflected in the code, and modifier 50 does not increase payment. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

75716 billing questions
When should this code be chosen instead of 75710?
Use this code when angiography covers both extremities. Code 75710 describes a unilateral extremity study.
Can the professional and technical services be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the physician's interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Without a component modifier, the claim is for the global service.
Should modifier 50 be appended for the two sides?
No. The code is priced as a bilateral service, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Document that both extremities were imaged and include the vessels evaluated and the physician's interpretation of the angiographic findings.
How does the multiple procedure reduction affect this service?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
Does this code include catheter placement?
The code represents the angiographic imaging service and its professional and technical components. Catheter placement, when performed, is represented by its applicable catheterization 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.
