The official AMA CPT code set descriptor for CPT code 75710 reads: Angiography, extremity, unilateral, radiological supervision and interpretation. This is a radiology-only code capturing the supervision and interpretation (S&I) component of the procedure. It is categorized in the Diagnostic Radiology section and covers one extremity – upper or lower – per encounter. It does not cover catheter placement, contrast injection, or any interventional component; those are reported separately with the appropriate surgical codes.

Clinical use is common in vascular surgery, interventional radiology, and cardiology settings. Coders encounter CPT code 75710 most often when a physician images a single limb to evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD), arterial stenosis, occlusion, aneurysm, or arteriovenous malformation before or after an intervention. The imaging may be performed in a hospital outpatient department, an ambulatory surgical center (ASC), or an office-based lab.

Medicare reimbursement and fee schedule for CPT code 75710

Medicare payment for CPT code 75710 differs based on where the service is rendered. The CMS Physician Fee Schedule publishes two distinct rates each year: one for facility settings (hospital outpatient, ASC) and one for non-facility settings (office-based lab). The difference reflects that CMS pays the facility separately for overhead in a hospital, so the physician’s fee is lower in that environment.

Specific dollar figures change with each annual MPFS final rule. The values below reflect approximate 2026 national rates based on available fee schedule data. Always verify against the current CMS MPFS file or use the 837 claim file submission tools in your billing system before submitting.
