A female patient had an FNA biopsy with ultrasound guidance on two separate nodules in the upper-outer quadrant of left breast. What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
No code for imaging guidance is necessary when it's already included with the code itself (10005, 10006), ICD Index Lump, breast leads you to N63 in the Tabular, unspecified lump in left breast upper outer quadrant, N63.21
Why it's not A
It includes ultrasound then why should code separately
