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.
A legible medical record must document the condition, clinical findings, relevant prior treatment, and clearly justify the necessity and reasonableness of the lumbar MRI.
The documentation must clearly support the ICD-10-CM code(s) reported on the claim.
An attending or treating physician's order, properly signed and dated, is required for each lumbar MRI test.

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.
Non‑invasive abdominal/visceral vascular studies are covered when the test results will be used to directly inform or change the patient's clinical management.
A preoperative non‑invasive abdominal/visceral vascular study is covered as reasonable and necessary for patients undergoing bypass surgery (one preoperative scan considered reasonable).
Medically necessary follow‑up non‑invasive abdominal/visceral vascular studies after angioplasty are covered as indicated by the vascular distribution treated.
