A 25-year-old woman underwent percutaneous breast biopsy on the right breast with placement of a Gelmark clip. The procedure was performed using stereotactic imaging.
What CPT® codes will be reported?
Option A included biopsy clip percutaneous and stereotactic guidance in a single code . Then why should we choose option D? Please correct me if I am wrong
A is a answer
Why I think it's A
Imaging already included in 19081
The answer should be D. You have the 19081 for the breast biopsy. And you need code 19283 for the stereotactic guidance.
A is correct because stereotactic guidance was used. If it's ultrasound guidance then we need to code 19083. And we can't code them together because they are different guidance
Stereotactic
Placement of clip-on right breast
