A 65-year-old female patient with atherosclerosis receives an abdominal aortography via serialography. The patient’s cardiologist reviews and interprets the findings. What is the appropriate code for this service?

75625
75625 -26
75605
75630

Explanation

Answer: A - The appropriate code for this service is 75625 (Aortography, Abdominal, by Serialography, Radiological Supervision and Interpretation). Code 75625 does not need to be appended with the modifier -26 because modifier -26 indicates radiological supervision and interpretation. Code 75625 already states that the service was just for the supervision and interpretation. To append modifier -26 would be repetitive.
