It is my understanding that in order to bill for both FNA and a biopsy, the FNA results must be immediately available (pathologist providing immediate interpretation of specimen) and results of the FNA must support the need of a biopsy.
(1) Is my understanding correct?
(2) In order to bill for both, is it required that the radiology report state that a pathologist was on site and include a statement regarding the immediate interpretation of FNA specimen? If not, what has to be documented to bill for both?
Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
