Hi, I show the aforementioned procedure on the charge ticket. The following pre-op history assestment: "She is being admitted for a computerized
tomography-directed and ultrasound-directed biopsy of the area of interest
by Dr. X. Dr. X and I have discussed her presentation and the
need for the biopsy." I only have these two radiological reports:
1.)FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATE OF MASS, RIGHT PELVIC NODE
2.)Biopsy of right iliac lymph node
I'm confused on which should be the primary procedure and how can I determine that, I'd appreciate if you have any written info. for this. I believe CT should be coded 72192 first as primary?
