List With HCPCS Codes For Head Imaging

The HCPCS codes for Head Imaging (M1027-M1031) provide a way to document and track the use of imaging procedures for patients with head-related conditions. These codes help healthcare providers accurately report and bill for the services rendered.

1. HCPCS Code M1027

HCPCS code M1027 describes the use of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to obtain images of the head. This code is used when a healthcare provider performs a CT or MRI scan specifically for head imaging purposes.

2. HCPCS Code M1028

HCPCS code M1028 is used to document patients with a primary headache diagnosis who undergo imaging procedures other than CT or MRI. This code helps healthcare providers track and report the use of alternative imaging techniques for patients with primary headaches.

3. HCPCS Code M1029

HCPCS code M1029 is used when imaging of the head (CT or MRI) was not obtained, and the reason for not obtaining the imaging is not specified. This code allows healthcare providers to indicate that head imaging was not performed and that the reason for not obtaining the imaging is unknown or not documented.
