CPT 93567 Aortic Angiography Reimbursement | OpenPayer

Modifier	Description	When to Use
`26`	Professional component	Use when reporting only the physician interpretation and report separate from technical imaging resources when the technical component is billed by another entity.
`59`	Distinct procedural service	Use when this aortic root angiography is distinct from other distinct procedures performed during the same session and not normally reported together.
`62`	Two surgeons	Use when two surgeons share responsibility for the procedure and both meet documentation requirements for co-surgery.
`76`	Data not available in the input.	Data not available in the input.
`52`	Reduced services	Use when the service performed is partially reduced or not completed as described by the full procedure.
`53`	Discontinued procedure	Use when the procedure is started but halted due to extenuating circumstances or patient safety concerns.
`80`	Assistant surgeon	Use when an assistant surgeon is required and documented as participating in the procedure.
`81`	Minimum assistant surgeon	Use when a minimum assistant is documented as participating.
`62`	Two surgeons	See above (duplicate removed).
`22`	Increased procedural services	Use when the service requires substantially greater than usual effort, documented and justified.
`25`	Significant, separately identifiable E/M service	Use when a significant evaluation and management service is performed on the same day as the procedure and properly documented.
`26`	Professional component	See above (duplicate removed).
`50`	Bilateral procedure	Rarely applicable; use when bilateral procedures are performed and reporting conforms to bilateral modifier rules.
`59`	Distinct procedural service	See above (duplicate removed).

Taxonomy Code	Specialty	Notes
207RC0000X	Cardiology	Interventional cardiologists typically perform and interpret aortic root angiography during cardiac catheterization.
207RP1001X	Cardiovascular Disease	Physicians with invasive cardiology training performing diagnostic coronary and aortic imaging.
207RX0201X	Thoracic Surgery	Cardiothoracic surgeons may perform or supervise invasive aortic imaging in operative or preoperative settings.
364S00000X	Radiology	Diagnostic radiologists with vascular/interventional expertise may interpret angiographic studies in some settings.
208000000X	Internal Medicine	Hospitalists or general internists may document pre- and post-procedure care but typically do not perform the invasive angiography.

Related Diagnoses

ICD-10 Code	Description	Clinical Relevance
`I20.9`	Angina pectoris, unspecified	Common indication for diagnostic aortic and coronary angiography to evaluate ischemic coronary disease.
`I25.10`	Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris	Used when assessing coronary anatomy and aortic root during catheterization for chronic coronary disease.
`I35.0`	Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis	Aortic root angiography helps evaluate aortic valve area, root anatomy, and associated coronary flow.
`I35.1`	Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) insufficiency	Aortic root injection can demonstrate aortic regurgitation severity and correlate with hemodynamic findings.
`I21.3`	ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site	Emergent catheterization often includes aortic root imaging as part of coronary angiography during acute MI evaluation.
`I50.9`	Heart failure, unspecified	Used when evaluating underlying ischemic contribution to ventricular dysfunction during diagnostic catheterization.

Related CPT Codes

CPT Code	Description	Relationship to This Procedure
`93452`	Left heart catheterization including intraprocedural injections for left ventriculography, when performed; coronary angiography may be included.	Often performed immediately before or with an aortic root angiogram as part of a comprehensive diagnostic left heart catheterization and coronary evaluation.
`93568`	Right and left heart catheterization with imaging of aortic root and coronary arteries; includes hemodynamic measurements.	Represents related or alternative comprehensive catheterization procedures that include aortic root imaging and may be reported when combined right and left heart catheterizations are performed.
`93561`	Coronary angiography during cardiac catheterization; selective coronary arteriography.	Selective coronary angiography is commonly performed during the same catheterization session and complements aortic root injections for full coronary assessment.
`93574`	Catheter placement in coronary sinus for retrograde cardioplegia or other purposes.	May be performed in operative or advanced interventional settings related to structural or electrophysiology procedures that also require aortic imaging.
`93306`	Echocardiography, transthoracic, real-time with image documentation (2D) including M-mode when performed; evaluation of aortic valve and root.	Noninvasive imaging often used before or after catheterization to assess aortic valve function and guide interpretation of angiographic findings.
