Reporting Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Absolute Quantitation of Myocardial Blood Flow (0899T, 0900T)

April 2025 pages 12-24 Reporting Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Absolute Quantitation of Myocardial Blood Flow (0899T, 0900T) For the CPT 2025 code set, two new Category III add-on codes (0899T, 0900T) were established to report the noninvasive determination of absolute quantitation of myocardial blood flow (AQMBF) using augmentative and assistive algorithmic analysis. Codes 0899T and 0900T provide additional information to help diagnose the causes of myocardial ischemia (ie, a lack of blood flow to the heart) and to determine its extent and severity. Parenthetical notes were added to the Category III section to clarify the reporting of these new codes...
