What 70547 covers

This service uses magnetic resonance angiographic imaging to evaluate blood vessels in the neck without contrast material. It may be ordered to assess cervical carotid or vertebral arteries for suspected stenosis, dissection, or other vascular abnormality. A radiologist typically interprets the images, while the technical work is performed in an imaging department or outpatient imaging center equipped for MRI.

Select this code when the examination is a neck MRA performed without contrast; use the contrast-specific sibling when contrast is administered, and distinguish angiographic vessel imaging from a routine MRI of neck soft tissues. The order and report should identify the neck vascular study, contrast status, clinical indication, and findings. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service; an unmodified claim represents the global service. When multiple diagnostic imaging services are performed, the CMS multiple procedure reduction applies to both the technical and professional components.
