Hi,

Can anyone help me with this? I've got a patient that was scheduled for needle localized partial mastectomy. The needles were inserted but then the surgery was canceled pre op so my provider removed the needles but I can't find a code for the removal. I'm considering 10120 but that doesn't seem to quite fit either.

Thanks!
