About 75860: Neck venography imaging and interpretation
Reports radiographic evaluation and interpretation of neck veins, such as jugular veins, when contrast imaging is used to assess venous patency or obstruction.
This service covers radiographic imaging and interpretation of the neck’s veins after contrast opacification. A radiologist or interventional radiologist may interpret a study evaluating suspected jugular narrowing, occlusion, or collateral venous drainage. The images and report should establish that the examined venous territory is in the neck; a study of the chest’s central veins or veins in an extremity is coded to its own anatomic service.
Report 75860 for the neck venography imaging and interpretation, supported by the imaging record and a signed report describing the findings. It may be billed globally, or split into the professional interpretation with modifier 26 and the technical service with modifier TC. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the CMS multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. The code represents the imaging service, not catheter placement; any separately reported catheter service must be supported by its own documentation.

75860 billing questions
When should I choose 75860 rather than 75827?
Use 75860 when the imaged venous territory is the neck, such as the jugular veins. Use 75827 for venography of the chest, including the superior vena cava territory.
Can the professional interpretation and technical service be billed separately?
Yes. Report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or modifier TC for the technical service; without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?
The CMS cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. It does not reduce the professional component under the rule provided for this code.
Does 75860 include venous catheter placement?
No. It represents the neck venography imaging and interpretation, not catheter placement. Report a catheter service separately only when it is performed, documented, and separately reportable.
What documentation supports reporting 75860?
Keep the imaging record and an interpretation that identifies the neck veins examined and documents the findings. The record should distinguish a neck study from imaging of the chest, skull, or extremities.
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.
