Wiki wire in intervention and biopsy by surgeon

[lbarbar]

Hello,

the radiologist in intervention inserted the wire under U/S guidance, then the patient was transferred to OR and the surgeon did the biopsy .....

would 19083 would be appropriate for the surgeon? as he didn't place the wire

Thank you

This wasn't a open breast procedure was it? If so you might be looking at a 19125.
