Hi there--
Im new to breast procedures and have a question on imaging guidance of wire/marking clip placements.
On an ultrasound guided wire localization, are you allowed to bill both 76942 (for US guided needle placement) and 77032 if the provider orders a mammographic confirmation of the wire/marking clip location?
There is a CCI edit between these two codes and I while I know that there are hierarchy rules with other imaging modalites (MRI trumps CT, CT trumps US, and US trumps Fluoro) I'm wondering if there are some similar bundling rules with US and mammo.
Thank you very much in advance.
