I am a student, I have a question about a problem in our book and am trying to understand how and why this is coded the way it is..
A surgeon performed a bronchoscopy with biopy and washing of the left lung.
The majority of us feel that the CPT code should just be 31625. But the book states that it should be 31622 AND 31625.
Why should there be 2 codes? doesn't 31625 fall under the 31622? isn't it understood that 31625 includes the services of 31622?
Please help!!
Thank you,
Colleen
