Wiki 19120 vs 19125

[kdriscoll]

Good Afternoon,

One of our physicians is preforming breast biopsies. This is a new area for me and I am unclear as to what constitutes a radiological marker (preoperative). In most cases mammographic localization is utilized. I would appreciate any advise.
Thanks,

This sounds like a Needle Localization biopsy (19125).

However, your documentation should state that a wire/ needle was placed prior to the biopsy procedure.
