What 75726 covers
This service covers the radiological supervision and interpretation of contrast imaging after a catheter is directed into abdominal visceral arteries. A radiologist or other qualified physician reviews the angiographic images to assess the vessels and relevant blood flow. The study may include a flush aortogram along with selective or more distal imaging of visceral branches, such as celiac or mesenteric arteries. It is performed in a hospital angiography suite or another setting equipped for catheter-based imaging.
Select 75726 for the visceral arterial territory studied, rather than for a general abdominal aortogram or imaging of a different vascular bed. The report should identify the vessels selectively imaged and document the diagnostic findings and interpretation. The catheter placement is represented separately when performed and supported. The service may be billed globally, or as the professional interpretation with modifier 26 or the technical service with modifier TC. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

How to choose
- 75625Abdominal aortography
- 75625 reports abdominal aortic imaging. Choose 75726 when the study selectively images abdominal visceral arterial branches.
- 75774Arterial imaging
- 75774 describes additional selective vessel imaging after a basic angiographic study; 75726 represents the visceral angiographic study itself.
- 75731Adrenal angiography
- 75731 is specific to angiography of one adrenal gland. Use 75726 for selective imaging of visceral arteries outside that adrenal-specific service.
- 75736Pelvic angiography
- 75736 is for pelvic arterial angiography. Choose 75726 when the imaged vessels are abdominal visceral branches.
75726 billing questions
When should 75726 be chosen over 75625?
Use 75726 for selective imaging of abdominal visceral arterial branches. Use 75625 for imaging centered on the abdominal aorta rather than selective visceral-vessel angiography.
Does 75726 include catheter placement?
75726 reports the imaging supervision and interpretation, not catheter placement. Report the appropriate selective catheterization service separately when the catheter placement was performed and documented.
How should modifiers 26 and TC be used?
Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Report without either modifier when billing the global service.
How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect 75726?
For multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures, the reduction applies to the technical component. The professional component is not the component identified for this reduction.
What documentation supports reporting 75726?
Document the visceral vessels selectively imaged, the diagnostic reason for the study, and the physician's interpretation of the angiographic findings. The report should distinguish visceral branch imaging from an aortogram alone.
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.
