What 76015 covers

This add-on captures additional time spent by nonphysician MR safety staff assessing an implant, device, or possible metallic foreign body before an MRI. The assessment may involve reviewing device records and relevant clinical information to determine whether the patient can be scanned safely and under what conditions. It is used when that work extends beyond the initial nonphysician assessment, such as when a patient arrives with an implant whose MRI conditions need careful review.

Report 76015 with 76014 for additional assessment time beyond the initial interval; it is not a stand-alone service. Documentation should identify the safety concern, the review or assessment performed, the staff member performing it, and the time supporting each additional unit. CMS classifies this as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code. It is paid within the primary procedure’s global period.
