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.
