Wiki MRA & MRI

[jackieconvery12]

We are receiving denials on both MRA & MRI being billed together. They are being done during the same visit/DOS.

We are billing
70546
70551-59

per NCCI edits 70551 is a column 2 code. IS this a common denial that we are just going to need to appeal?

Try modifier XU or XE, depending on whether the exam was done simultaneously or later in the day. You can check in isite/PACS for this information.
