Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 77047 covers

This service is an MRI examination of both breasts performed without contrast material. A common use is assessment of breast implants when there is concern for rupture or another implant complication. The study is performed in an MRI department or imaging center, with a radiologist interpreting the images. It is distinct from contrast-enhanced breast MRI used for other diagnostic questions.

Report 77047 when both breasts are imaged without contrast; the documented protocol should support the lack of contrast and bilateral extent. The service may be billed globally, or its professional interpretation and technical performance may be billed separately with modifier 26 or TC. When multiple diagnostic imaging procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to both the professional and technical components. The code is priced for bilateral imaging, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
