What 75561 covers
This cardiac MRI evaluates heart structure and function using images acquired before and after intravenous contrast, without stress imaging. It can assess ventricular size and performance, chamber anatomy, myocardium, and cardiac masses; contrast-enhanced tissue assessment may help evaluate conditions such as cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, scar, or selected congenital abnormalities. A technologist performs the scan in a hospital or outpatient imaging facility, and a radiologist or cardiologist interprets the study.
Report 75561 when the performed protocol includes contrast-enhanced morphology and function imaging without a stress component. Documentation should identify the clinical indication, contrast administration, imaging performed, and findings supporting the structural and functional assessment. Medicare recognizes professional and technical components: use modifier 26 for the interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or neither modifier when billing the global service. When multiple diagnostic imaging procedures are performed, the diagnostic imaging multiple-procedure reduction applies to both the professional and technical components.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

75561 billing questions
How does 75561 differ from 75557?
75561 is for cardiac MRI with contrast; 75557 is the corresponding morphology and function study without contrast. Choose based on the protocol performed and documented.
When is a stress cardiac MRI code more appropriate?
Use a stress cardiac MRI code when the study includes stress imaging. 75561 describes the contrast-enhanced morphology and function study without a stress component.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or TC for the technical service; billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Can 75565 be reported with 75561?
75565 is an add-on for cardiac MRI velocity flow mapping and may be reported with 75561 when that additional mapping service is performed and documented.
How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect 75561?
When multiple diagnostic imaging procedures are performed, the CMS multiple-procedure reduction applies to both the professional and technical components of 75561.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
