Radiological supervision and interpretation of selective bilateral pulmonary artery angiography.
Modifiers 26, 59, TC may be applicable depending on the circumstances of the service and the payer's guidelines.Modifier 59 should be appended if the diagnostic angiography is performed at the same session as an interventional procedure but meets the criteria outlined in the CPT guidelines for separate reporting.
Medical necessity for a selective bilateral pulmonary angiogram is established when clinical findings, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or abnormal lung scan results, suggest the presence of a pulmonary embolism or other pulmonary vascular disease requiring diagnosis.
The radiologist's clinical responsibility is limited to the radiological supervision and interpretation of the angiogram. This includes image acquisition, review, and interpretation to diagnose any abnormalities.
In simple words: This code covers the doctor's work in looking at and interpreting X-ray images of the blood vessels in the lungs.A special dye is used to make the vessels show up on the X-rays, helping to diagnose problems like blood clots.
This CPT code encompasses the radiological supervision and interpretation (RSI) of a selective bilateral pulmonary angiography.The procedure involves catheterization of the pulmonary artery, contrast injection, and image acquisition to visualize both pulmonary arteries. The radiologist's responsibility includes interpreting the images to detect any abnormalities such as pulmonary embolism.
Example 1: A patient presents with suspected pulmonary embolism. A selective bilateral pulmonary angiogram is performed, and the radiologist uses code 75743 to report the radiological supervision and interpretation of the procedure., A patient undergoes a cardiac catheterization, and during the procedure, a selective bilateral pulmonary angiogram is performed to assess for pulmonary hypertension. The radiologist reports code 75743 for the interpretation of the pulmonary angiogram images., A patient with a history of lung disease undergoes a follow-up selective bilateral pulmonary angiogram to monitor for the progression of vascular disease. The radiologist reports code 75743 for their services related to image interpretation.
The medical record must include the indication for the procedure, the results of the angiogram, and the radiologist's interpretation.Detailed images and reports are required for accurate coding and reimbursement.
** This code is for the radiological supervision and interpretation only.The catheterization portion of the procedure is typically coded separately.
