Update: Contrast Agents and Radiopharmaceuticals
Effective December 1, 2020, Horizon BCBSNJ will change how we process certain claims for services as part of our Radiology/Imaging Services Program and our Cardiology Imaging Program, both administered by eviCore healthcare (eviCore).
Beginning December 1, 2020, reimbursement for the services represented by the HCPCS codes below will be considered included in the reimbursement for the radiology/cardiology imaging service performed and will not be eligible for separate reimbursement.
- A9575 Injection of a nonionic contrast medium for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Q9957 Injection, perflutren lipid microspheres, per ml
You may review this and other noncovered services within our Contrast Agents and Radiopharmaceuticals listing available on the Cardiology Imaging Program and Radiology/Imaging Services web pages.
