Ask Dr. Z

We wanted to clarify. Patient came in for bilateral masses biopsy due to bilateral masses noted on diagnostic imaging recently. MD first performed targeted bilateral axilla ultrasound and findings are normal lymph nodes, no adenopathy, fluid collection or masses. Then bilateral breast biopsy under ultrasound guidance was performed followed by mammogram. Our questions are, can we bill 76882 -LT, RT for the bilateral axilla ultrasound. Also can we bill for mammogram as well? MD didn't specify what kind of imaging was performed prior to patient coming in for biopsy. Can we report 77066 for bilateral mammograms? Thanks!
