About 72195: Pelvic MRI without contrast
MRI of the pelvis without contrast is reported for diagnostic evaluation of pelvic organs, soft tissues, or bones when the ordered imaging protocol uses no contrast.
This service uses magnetic resonance imaging to create diagnostic images of the pelvis without administered contrast. A technologist typically performs the scan in an imaging department or hospital, and a radiologist interprets the images. Common clinical questions include the evaluation of pelvic pain, a suspected pelvic mass, or other pelvic soft-tissue or bony findings when a noncontrast protocol is appropriate.
Select this code when the completed study covers the pelvis and is performed without contrast; use the documented imaging protocol to distinguish it from a study performed with contrast or both without and with contrast. The order and report should support the pelvic region examined and contrast status. The service may be billed globally, or the interpretation may be reported with modifier 26 and the equipment and staff service with modifier TC. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to both the technical and professional components.

72195 billing questions
How does this differ from 72196?
72195 describes a pelvic MRI performed without contrast. Use 72196 when contrast is administered for the study.
When is 72197 used instead?
72197 is for a pelvic MRI performed first without and then with contrast. Do not use 72195 for that combined protocol.
Can the interpretation and scan be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Does the multiple procedure reduction affect only the technical service?
No. The diagnostic imaging multiple procedure reduction applies to both the technical and professional components.
What documentation supports reporting 72195?
The imaging order and report should identify the pelvis as the region examined and show that the study was performed without contrast.
