Wondered if anyone else is running into this issue.
There are new codes that combine the needle localization with the biopsy itself. I can't seem to find a way to code a mammographically guided needle placement with the biopsy.
The new codes are only for MRI, ultrasound or stereotactic guidance. I can code just the mammographic needle placement 19281. I can code 19125, the old code for a needle localized bx. However, I get an edit when using both together.
I'm using 3M, which was just updated a couple of days ago.
TIA for any help!
