Our Endocrinologist is doing a fine needle aspiration on two lesions (lt & rt) and a core needle bx with ultrasonic guidance. He is billing these procedures as 10022 with 76942,10022-59 with 76942-59, 60100 with 76942 and 60100-59 with 76942-59. I believe that it should be billed 10022, 10022-59, 60100-59, 60100-59 & 76942(only once). Medicare MUE states 1 unit, but he states that the way he is billing is correct. This is a commerical insurance payer but I don't think that this makes a difference. Please let me know what you think. Thanks
