Q&A: Billing services with and without contrast material

Q: We're wondering about how to use CPT® code 73225 (magnetic resonance angiography [MRA], upper extremity, with or without contrast material) in our hospital. When providing an MRA of an upper extremity with and without contrast material, should we bill this service twice (since CPT indicates with or without contrast material) or only once?
