Hi. If your Urologist implanted 2 units of the Visicoil using the ultrasound guidance, you should bill it this way:

55876 (placement of interstitial device for radiation therapy guidance, prostate via
needle, single or multiple)

76942 (ultrasound guidance)
A4648 tissue marker, implantable, any type, each

If the pt has Medicare, you need to indicate in the line note under A4648 the purchase price of the visicoil times the number of units equals the total amount. For example:

"visicoil markers at 190.00 each equals 380.00"

You need to ask your Billing Mgr if you have already set a fee sked for the above.
