Ask Dr. Z

"Procedure: CT-guided percutaneous needle localization abdominal wall. Patient supine. CT localized abdominal wall mass. RUQ prepped and draped, and skin entry site is identified. A 10 cm, 20 G Homer BLN hook wire needle is inserted just superficial to abdominal wall mass to avoid penetration as to prevent further seeding, guided by CT in increments. The hook wire is 0.5 cm superficial to mass and sutured in place. Patient is then transferred to surgery for excision." In 2013 there was a preoperative needle localization wire for the breast (19290). My questions is, is there a CPT code for preoperative placement needle localization wire abdominal wall?
