CPT code 75565 designates an add-on imaging procedure for velocity flow mapping performed alongside cardiac MRI to assess structural and functional cardiac abnormalities. As an adjunct to standard cardiac MRI sequences, velocity flow mapping provides quantitative flow and hemodynamic data that can alter diagnosis, surgical planning, and longitudinal management for conditions such as valvular disease, shunts, and congenital heart disease. Nationally, accurate coding for this add-on service matters for clinical documentation, appropriate billing, and enabling comparability across providers and payers.

Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of the clinical context for use of the code, typical sites of service, and the types of benchmarks and payment issues that commonly arise when billing add-on cardiac MRI services. The publication highlights common policy considerations affecting coverage and payment for advanced cardiac imaging, explains where CPT code 75565 fits within the cardiac MRI service line, and summarizes implications for provider documentation and claim assembly.
