What A9547 covers

Indium-111 oxyquinoline is used to label a patient’s white blood cells outside the body. The labeled cells are returned by intravenous injection and imaged to help locate infection or inflammation, including suspected abscess or osteomyelitis. Nuclear medicine departments typically prepare or handle the labeled cells and perform the imaging; the drug-supply code identifies the radiopharmaceutical, not the imaging procedure.

A9547 represents each 0.5 millicurie of indium-111 oxyquinoline. On the physician fee schedule, status C means CMS publishes no national payment amount and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The HCPCS pricing method is payment set by statute, and the coverage code leaves coverage to the contractor’s judgment. Report units according to the total activity represented by the billed supply.

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.

A9547 billing questions

What does A9547 identify?

It identifies indium-111 oxyquinoline used to label white blood cells for diagnostic imaging. It is the radiopharmaceutical supply code, not the code for the scan itself.

How many units should be reported?

One unit represents 0.5 millicurie. Calculate units from the activity represented by the radiopharmaceutical supplied.

Is this the same tracer as indium-111 pentetate?

No. A9547 is indium-111 oxyquinoline for labeled-white-cell imaging; A9548 identifies indium-111 pentetate, a different radiopharmaceutical.

Does A9547 include the imaging procedure?

No. A9547 identifies the radiopharmaceutical supply. The applicable nuclear imaging service is identified separately.

How does Medicare price and cover A9547?

Its physician fee schedule status is C, so there is no national payment amount and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. HCPCS pricing is set by statute, while coverage is left to the contractor’s judgment.

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.
