About 75565: Cardiac MRI velocity flow mapping
Reports cardiac MRI velocity flow mapping added to a primary cardiac MRI to measure blood-flow direction and velocity in the heart or great vessels.
This add-on captures and analyzes blood-flow velocity during cardiac MRI, such as flow across a valve or through a vessel. It can help quantify regurgitant flow or assess a suspected shunt, including in congenital heart disease. An MRI technologist performs the acquisition, with interpretation by a radiologist or cardiologist. The service is used with a primary cardiac MRI examination, not as a stand-alone study.
Report 75565 only when velocity flow mapping is performed in addition to the primary cardiac MRI; the record should support the mapping acquisition and its interpretation. CMS treats it as an add-on paid within the primary procedure's global period. The diagnostic test has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and reporting without either modifier represents the global service.
CMS billing rules for 75565
- Global period
- Add-on code: billed only together with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure's global period.
- Professional and technical components
- Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.

75565 billing questions
Can 75565 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on for velocity flow mapping performed with a primary cardiac MRI, such as 75557, 75559, 75561, or 75563.
How is 75565 different from the primary cardiac MRI code?
The primary code identifies the cardiac MRI examination, including whether stress imaging or contrast is used. 75565 separately identifies additional velocity flow mapping performed during that examination.
When should modifier 26 or TC be used?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports reporting 75565?
Document that velocity flow mapping was acquired and interpreted as part of the cardiac MRI, along with the clinical reason for assessing flow, such as suspected regurgitation or a shunt.
Is 75565 paid separately from the primary MRI's global period?
CMS treats 75565 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure's global period.
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.
