CPT 55700 says: biopsy, prostate; needle or punch, single or multiple, any approach.
the "any" approprach is based on three ways the biopsy can be done. however my question has to do with the image guidance;
the crosswalk in the CPT code book and Encoder pro make reference to image guidance by indicating the usage of Ultrasound image guidance.
My institution will be using MRI guidance.. i'd like some input as to whether the references made to US image guidance is that we can ONLY bill US image gudiance and NOT bill MR guidance?
The CPT 77021 reads out as an appropriate code to use?
