CPT code 75894 is used to describe the imaging supervision and interpretation for a transcatheter therapy procedure. This code is specifically for the radiological supervision and interpretation of images taken during a therapeutic procedure that involves the use of a catheter inserted into a blood vessel. The imaging is crucial for guiding the catheter to the correct location and ensuring the therapy is delivered accurately. This code is typically used by radiologists or other healthcare professionals who are responsible for the imaging component of the procedure, and it helps in documenting and billing for the radiological services provided during the transcatheter therapy.

The CPT code 75894 is subject to reimbursement considerations under Medicare, specifically through the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS).
Whether this code is reimbursed by Medicare can depend on several factors, including the specific policies of the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) that governs the region where the service is provided.
Each MAC may have different coverage determinations and guidelines, which can affect the reimbursement status of CPT code 75894.
Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare providers to verify the reimbursement status with their local MAC and review the MPFS for the most current information on allowable charges and coverage criteria.
