I bet the exam writer is just trying to trip us up with all these MRI codes. Time to break out the CPT manual and get my coding mojo on!

I hope the answer isn't 'D' - that just sounds like a typo waiting to happen!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards C since the stress imaging is included, but I'm still not sure about the ICD-10-CM codes.

Wait, is the question asking for both CPT and ICD-10-CM codes? I think B is the right CPT codes, but the ICD-10-CM codes look a bit off to me.

This looks like a pretty comprehensive cardiac MRI study, so I'm going with B - 75561 and 75563 for the codes.
