BONE MARROW BX W/CONE BEAM CT

Date: Dec 13, 2018

Question:

My doctor performed bone marrow aspiration and biopsy (38222). This was done under fluoro. He also did a cone beam CT without processing on an independent station. I am unsure of what to use to bill for guidance. Would it be 77002 or 76380-59, 76376? Sometimes "spinning" CT is mentioned; I am unsure if 3D is meant.
