RAD.00068 Myocardial Strain Imaging

This policy addresses myocardial strain imaging, a noninvasive method (via 2D/3D echocardiography or cardiac MRI) to assess myocardial deformation. Anthem considers myocardial strain imaging investigational and not medically necessary; it is not covered for any indication. There are no covered exceptions, and services billed under CPT/HCPCS codes 93356, C9762, and C9763 are non-covered.
