Question:
How do we report multiple percutaneous image-guided breast biopsies in 2024?
Answer:
When more than one biopsy is performed using the same imaging modality, use an add-on code, whether the additional service is on the same or contralateral breast. If additional biopsies are performed using different imaging modalities, report another primary code for each additional modality.
