I came across a medical note stating a bone marrow aspiration biopsy was performed but when I read into the medical record the physician stated that when he tried to aspirate nothing was coming out. Therefore, no substance was aspirated and no substance biopsied from iliac crest. Do we still use code 38222 for hospital billing?
May report CPT code 38222 (Diagnostic bone marrow; biopsy(ies) and aspiration(s)).
