CMS doesn’t publish a rate for A9501 in Arkansas.

Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · A9501 nationwide

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

What A9501 covers

Technetium-99m teboroxime is an intravenously administered radioactive tracer used in myocardial perfusion imaging to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle. Nuclear medicine departments and other services furnishing the radiopharmaceutical report it with the cardiac imaging encounter. The study may assess perfusion at rest or with stress, as clinically performed.

Medicare assigns this code carrier-priced status: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. HCPCS pricing also assigns the code to other contractor pricing, while coverage is left to the contractor’s judgment. The code represents one diagnostic study dose, not a quantity measured in milligrams or millicuries. Report the radiopharmaceutical for the dose furnished; the applicable cardiac imaging service is represented by its own procedure code.
