New lung biopsy code 32408
Date: Mar 15, 2021
Question:
Recently at an AMA seminar they stated that with 32408 (lung biopsy) you can code this more than once when more than one lesion is biopsied of the lung. I am not seeing that in the description. Do you agree if they biopsy two or more different lesions in the same lung that you can report code 32408 x 2 or more?
