Summary & Overview
CPT 75630: Radiologic Imaging of Abdominal Aorta and Iliofemoral Arteries
CPT code 75630 represents combined radiologic imaging of the abdominal aorta and bilateral iliofemoral arteries, encompassing both the technical execution and professional interpretation of the study. This vascular imaging code is used for diagnostic evaluation of aortoiliac and iliofemoral arterial disease and is relevant to cardiology, vascular surgery, and radiology services nationwide. Its use affects clinical workflows, documentation, and payer reimbursement practices across major national payers.
Key payers addressed include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of how CPT code 75630 is defined, typical settings where the procedure is performed, and the clinical contexts in which it is ordered. The publication summarizes benchmark considerations and coding practice implications, highlights common modifiers and administrative elements where available, and situates the code within vascular diagnostic service lines.
This summary is intended for billing managers, practice administrators, and clinicians seeking a national-level briefing on the code’s purpose, operational context, and the types of analyses and policy updates the full publication covers.

Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A 72-year-old male with long-standing peripheral arterial disease and hypertension is referred for diagnostic arterial imaging after progressive left calf claudication and an ankle-brachial index of 0.6. Duplex ultrasound suggested multi-segment aortoiliac occlusive disease. The vascular surgery team schedules radiologic imaging of the abdominal aorta and bilateral iliofemoral arteries to define lesion length, stenosis severity, and runoff prior to planning endovascular revascularization. The procedure is performed in an outpatient hospital radiology suite or an ambulatory surgical center with fluoroscopic equipment. Intravenous contrast is administered unless contraindicated; both technical and professional components are provided by the imaging facility and the interpreting physician, respectively. Images and a written report document arterial anatomy, stenoses, aneurysm presence, and any procedural complications; findings inform decisions for angioplasty/stenting or surgical bypass.
