Ask Dr. Z

I am getting an edit that code 75561 is allowed with 76376 or 76377 but only with a modifier. Complete documentation is missing, but I want to check if the reconstructions are inherent in the cardiac MRI, before I query the physician. Thank you.

"TECHNIQUE: This examination was performed at UCI inpatient imaging facility on a Siemens Avanto 1.5T MR scanner. Axial truFISP survey of chest , multiplanar truFISP cine SA, VLA, HLA, LVOT, AV, phase contrast imaging through AV and multiplanar inversion recovery images were obtained at 10 minutes post contrast administration to assess for delayed myocardial hyperenhancement were performed. A total 18cc of Gadolinium contrast agent (MultiHance) was given without adverse effect. 3D post-processing was performed using a special cardiac software."
