Explanation

Procedure: Complete cardiac MRI for morphology and function without contrast, followed by contrast with four additional sequences and stress imaging. 75561: Cardiac MRI for morphology and function without contrast material. 75563: Cardiac MRI with contrast and further sequences. ICD-10-CM Codes: I50.1: Left ventricular failure. I49.1: Premature ventricular contractions. Code Selection Justification: The CPT® codes accurately capture the MRI procedures performed. The ICD-10-CM codes represent the diagnoses of left ventricular failure and premature ventricular contractions.
