-for safety reasons (NSF)rules, A pt with a hx of kidney disease/hypertension etc must have a bun/creat run before their MRI, as well as any patient over 60. So for pt over 60 with no known kidney problems-What dx code(s) do you use for the lab screening? V81.6
 
GFR screening pre MRI

Please look at V72.63 - pre procedural laboratory test

Thanks,
