0611T Mrs disc pain alg alys data
Also known as: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy disc analysis
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy of discogenic pain site with algorithmic analysis of spectroscopic data. This Category III code includes computational interpretation of measurements.
In Plain Language
Computer analysis of disc MRI measurements
Clinical Context
Used for algorithmic analysis of MR spectroscopic data to assess intervertebral disc degeneration and predict pain contribution for treatment planning.
RVU Information
CPT 0611T does not have a physician work RVU assigned by CMS. Category III codes for emerging technology do not receive RVU assignments. Reimbursement is negotiated with individual payers.
Billing & Documentation
Category III codes are temporary codes for emerging technology, services, and procedures. They are not assigned RVU values by CMS. Coverage and reimbursement vary by payer — check with individual insurers before billing. These codes sunset after 5 years if not converted to Category I.
