This billing and coding article provides guidelines that complement Local Coverage Determination L34415 for CT of the abdomen and pelvis; consult LCD L34415 for specific coverage indications, limitations, and documentation requirements.
Claims and coding must follow and reference the Local Coverage Determination L33456; consult L33456 for specific clinical coverage criteria and required documentation.
A legible medical record must document the condition, clinical findings, relevant prior treatment, and clearly justify the necessity and reasonableness of the lumbar MRI.

Initial lumbar MRI is covered when the test is medically reasonable and necessary and the medical record documents clinical rationale and supports the ICD-10-CM code(s) billed.
A second lumbar MRI for the same patient is allowable when documentation shows comparative test results are needed to make a more definitive treatment decision.
Multiple scans of different body areas performed on the same day for the same patient are payable when each scan is reasonable and necessary.
Simultaneous bilateral hip or knee replacement during the same encounter is covered when medical necessity for bilateral procedure is documented; bilateral procedures are subject to bilateral pricing.
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is covered for advanced joint disease when arthritis of the hip or knee is supported by X-ray or MRI demonstrating subchondral cysts, subchondral sclerosis, periarticular osteophytes, joint subluxation, joint space narrowing, or avascular necrosis.
THA or TKA is covered when the patient has pain or functional disability at the hip or knee, e.g., pain interfering with activities of daily living (ADLs), pain increased with initiation of activity, or pain increased with weight bearing.
