What 76017 covers

This service covers medical physics work to evaluate an MRI safety issue and tailor or supervise the examination for the individual patient. Examples include reviewing patient-specific information about an implant or foreign body and determining how the MRI protocol or scanning conditions should be adapted. It is typically performed by a medical physicist as part of planning or carrying out an MRI when standard scanning arrangements need patient-specific safety review.

Report the code for each documented 15-minute unit of the qualifying medical physics work. The record should identify the safety issue, the patient-specific review or protocol customization performed, and the time spent. The service may be billed globally, with the professional component reported using modifier 26, or with the technical component reported using modifier TC. CMS applies the diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction to both the professional and technical components when applicable.
