Radiology
About 70547: Neck MR angiography without contrast
Reports MR angiographic evaluation of neck vessels without contrast, commonly used to assess carotid or vertebral artery disease and vascular anatomy.
This service uses magnetic resonance angiographic imaging to evaluate blood vessels in the neck without contrast material. It may be ordered to assess cervical carotid or vertebral arteries for suspected stenosis, dissection, or other vascular abnormality. A radiologist typically interprets the images, while the technical work is performed in an imaging department or outpatient imaging center equipped for MRI.
Select this code when the examination is a neck MRA performed without contrast; use the contrast-specific sibling when contrast is administered, and distinguish angiographic vessel imaging from a routine MRI of neck soft tissues. The order and report should identify the neck vascular study, contrast status, clinical indication, and findings. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service; an unmodified claim represents the global service. When multiple diagnostic imaging services are performed, the CMS multiple procedure reduction applies to both the technical and professional components.

70547 billing questions
When should 70547 be chosen instead of 70548?
Use 70547 for neck MR angiography performed without contrast. Use 70548 when the neck MRA is performed with contrast.
How does 70547 differ from a routine neck MRI?
70547 evaluates neck vessels angiographically. A routine neck MRI, such as 70540, evaluates anatomy beyond the vascular study rather than reporting an MRA.
Can the professional and technical services be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 reports the professional interpretation, and modifier TC reports the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Does the multiple procedure reduction affect 70547?
Yes. When multiple diagnostic imaging services are performed, the CMS reduction applies to both the professional and technical components.
Can a neck MRA be reported with a head MRA?
A head MRA may be performed and reported with a neck MRA when both regions are examined. Use the code that matches the anatomy and contrast status documented for each study.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
