There seems to be a contradiction on the breast biopsy and localization correction: "If additional biopsies or localization device placements are performed using different imaging modalities, report another primary code for each additional biopsy or localization device placement performed using a different image guidance modality
19281 Placement of breast localization device(s) (eg, clip, metallic
pellet, wire/needle, radioactive seeds), percutaneous; first lesion,
including mammographic guidance

19288 each additional lesion, including magnetic resonance
guidance"
It also the same on the biopsy correction on the previous page.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to contact the AMA to let them know?
 
I'm also wondering about this new revision. I'm not sure how to report RT/LT modifiers with revised guidelines.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,
Caroline
