Need some help determining the right code. My Dr. did a sentinel lymph node biopsy of the left jugulodigastric node. I am unsure if this would be CPT code 38510 or 38542. Appreciate any clarification.
 
If it was only a dissection, 38542 would be the CPT to use. However, since you indicated that biopsy was performed, 38510 would be the appropriate CPT.
