AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) — Question 81

A complete cardiac MRI for morphology and function without contrast, followed by contrast with four additional sequences and stress imaging, is performed on a patient with systolic left ventricular congestive heart failure and premature ventricular contractions.
What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?

Answer options

• A. 75557, 75559, I50.1, I49.1
• B. 75561, 75563, I50.1, I49.1
• C. 75563, I50.20, I49.3
• D. 75559, I50.20, I49.3

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because 75563 accurately reflects the cardiac MRI with contrast and additional sequences. The codes I50.20 and I49.3 correctly identify the patient's diagnosis of congestive heart failure and premature ventricular contractions, respectively. The other options include incorrect or incomplete codes that do not apply to the specific procedures and conditions described.
