    Q&A: Performing services with and without MRA

    April 29, 2015
    Q: We are trying to verify whether we should bill for two units of the CPT® code when the provider performs a service with and without magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), such as an MRA of the abdomen, with or without contrast material (code 74185). The description of the MRA CPT codes say "with or without," not with and without for billing all non-Medicare payers. We realize for Medicare we are to use HCPCS codes C8900-C8902.
