*Data represent global and professional service billing for services in Medicare fee-for-service at all sites of service (inpatient hospital, physician office, etc.).
*Cardiac CT was reported with Category III codes from 2007 through 2009. Chart shows utilization of Category III codes (0144T-0150T) through 2009 and new Category I codes (75571-75574) starting in 2009.
*Cardiac MR codes were revised in 2008. Chart shows utilization of old codes (75552-75556) through 2007 and new codes (75557-75563) starting in 2008.
