Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · A9573 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 A9573 covers

Gadopiclenol, marketed as Vueway, is an intravenous gadolinium-based contrast agent used during MRI to improve visualization of abnormalities in the central nervous system or body. Imaging departments and other providers administering contrast report the drug alongside the applicable MRI service. The drug code identifies the contrast agent and does not represent the scan or its interpretation.

Medicare assigns this code physician fee schedule status X: gadopiclenol is not a physician service under the Medicare statute, so the physician fee schedule does not pay it. When covered, it is paid under another fee schedule or payment system; HCPCS classifies it as a Part B drug generally priced from CMS quarterly Average Sales Price files. Coverage is left to the Medicare contractor's judgment. Each unit represents 1 mL of gadopiclenol.
