What 75563 covers
This service combines cardiac MRI assessment of heart morphology and function with stress imaging and contrast-enhanced sequences. It is commonly performed in a hospital or advanced imaging center by a cardiac MRI team, with interpretation by a radiologist or cardiologist experienced in cardiac imaging. Stress imaging can help assess suspected myocardial ischemia, while the contrast-enhanced sequences contribute information about myocardial tissue and cardiac structure.
Select this code when the documented examination includes cardiac MRI, stress imaging, and contrast-enhanced sequences. The report should support the cardiac MRI protocol performed, use of contrast and stress imaging, and the interpreting clinician’s findings. Bill the global service without a component modifier, or report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the equipment-and-staff portion. CMS applies the diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction to both the technical and professional components when applicable.
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.

How to choose
- 75559Cardiac MRIStress imaging, no contrast
- Choose 75559 for cardiac MRI with stress imaging when contrast is not used. Choose 75563 when the stress MRI also includes contrast-enhanced sequences.
- 75561Cardiac MRIMorphology and function with contrast
- 75561 covers cardiac MRI with contrast without stress imaging. The stress component distinguishes 75563.
- 75557Cardiac MRIMorphology and function, no contrast
- 75557 describes cardiac MRI for morphology and function without contrast or stress imaging; 75563 includes both stress imaging and contrast.
75563 billing questions
How does 75563 differ from 75559?
75563 includes contrast-enhanced sequences in addition to stress imaging. 75559 describes cardiac MRI with stress imaging without contrast.
When should 75561 be used instead?
Use 75561 for cardiac MRI with contrast when stress imaging is not part of the examination. 75563 is the choice when the exam includes both contrast and stress imaging.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or modifier TC for the technical portion; billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Does a multiple procedure reduction affect this code?
CMS applies the diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction to the technical and professional components when applicable.
What documentation supports reporting 75563?
The record should identify the cardiac MRI examination, contrast-enhanced sequences, stress imaging, and the interpreting clinician’s findings.
Can flow velocity mapping be reported with 75563?
Code 75565 is an add-on for cardiac MRI flow velocity mapping and may be reported with 75563 when that mapping is performed and documented.
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.
