What 75736 covers
This code covers radiological supervision and interpretation of selective or more distal catheter-based angiography of pelvic arteries. A radiologist or interventional physician reviews contrast images to assess pelvic arterial anatomy and findings such as suspected hemorrhage, vascular injury, or a lesion being evaluated for treatment. The imaging is commonly performed in a hospital angiography or interventional radiology suite. Catheter placement and any embolization or other treatment are distinct services, supported by their own documentation and coding when performed.
Report the code when the documented study images pelvic arteries through selective catheterization; the report should identify the vessels examined and interpret the findings. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the equipment-and-staff service; billing without either modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are reported, the CMS multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. The professional interpretation is reported separately when appropriate to the billing arrangement.

How to choose
- 75726Visceral angiography
- Choose 75726 for abdominal arterial imaging and 75736 for selective or supraselective pelvic arterial imaging. Follow the territory actually studied and interpreted.
- 75710Extremity angiography
- 75710 is for angiographic imaging of one arm or leg; 75736 is for pelvic arteries.
- 75774Arterial imaging
- 75774 represents additional selective vessel imaging after a basic examination, not the primary pelvic angiographic study.
75736 billing questions
How is this different from 75726?
75736 describes selective or supraselective imaging of pelvic arteries. Use 75726 for angiographic imaging of the abdominal arterial territory; the documented vessels and images determine the anatomic service.
Can catheter placement be reported separately?
This code represents the radiological supervision and interpretation of the angiogram, not the catheter placement itself. Report a catheterization service when the procedure record supports the separately performed placement.
When should modifier 26 or TC be used?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service, which includes equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect this code?
For multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures, the CMS reduction applies to the technical component. The professional interpretation is not the component identified for that reduction.
When might 75774 also be reported?
75774 may be reported for separately documented additional selective vessel imaging after the basic angiographic examination. The record should support the additional vessel study rather than merely repeat the pelvic study.
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.
