Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · A9570 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 A9570 covers

This radiopharmaceutical is prepared by labeling a patient’s own white blood cells with indium-111 and reinjecting them for diagnostic imaging. Nuclear medicine departments use the study to help locate infection or inflammation, such as a suspected abscess or osteomyelitis. The dose is patient-specific because it uses the patient’s cells; the imaging service is performed and reported by the nuclear medicine provider or facility.

A9570 identifies the indium-111 labeled cell dose, not the imaging procedure. Medicare assigns physician fee schedule status C: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. HCPCS pricing uses other contractor pricing, and coverage is left to the contractor’s judgment. The code is defined per study dose; one billing unit represents one study dose, rather than a measure of radioactive activity.
