CPT 93567: Diagnostic Aortic Angiography with Catheterization
CPT code 93567 describes a diagnostic aortic angiography performed via catheterization to inject contrast into the aorta, with supervision of image capture, interpretation, and reporting. This procedure is used to assess aortic and cardiac anatomy and function and can be performed in patients with or without congenital heart disease. Nationally, this code matters for hospitals and cardiology practices because it captures a common invasive diagnostic service that drives resource use in catheterization laboratories and informs clinical decision-making for structural and congenital cardiac conditions.
Key payers in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of clinical context for the procedure, typical sites of service, common billing modifiers (provided in the input), and the scope of services represented by the code. The publication outlines benchmarks and reimbursement considerations, clarifies coding scope for diagnostic aortic angiography, and summarizes implications for facility and professional billing.
