how would we code:
Procedure:
Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage, endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration of station 4R lymph node, transbronchial biopsy with radial ultrasound, endobronchial biopsy.
5 specimens obtained
one coder is coding as:
31624
31625
31629
31633
one coder is coding as:
31629
31633
31653
