Question:
When it comes to fine needle aspiration biopsy, Is it ever possible to assign two primary codes at the same session?
Answer:
Yes. When two separate lesions are sampled using two different types of modality-specific guidance, each lesion is assigned the modality–specific primary code. Any additional lesions studied using the same type of guidance would be described by the modality–specific add-on code.
