Our physician did an aspiration of the abdominal fat pad for biosy in his office.This was done to see if the patient might have Amyloidosis. I am having trouble finding a code to fit this.Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Kathy :confused:
 
I am assuming you want a CPT code? :confused:
Have you looked at:
10021
Fine needle aspiration; without imaging guidance

Or

10022
Fine needle aspiration; with imaging guidance
Not sure if imaging guidance was used or not.
 
Thank-you...the descriptor does say that the procedure is used to obtain tissue for pathologic examination. This is what they were doing it for.The fine needle aspiration code I knew would be incorrect as they used a large needle.Thanks again! Kathy
