Here's another one that I'm thinking I coded wrong. Here's the scenario:
12/05/11-vacuum assisted biopsy
19103, 76942, 19295, 99205-25
12/12/2011
99214
12/19/2011-lumpectomy w/excision of tumor, dye and sentinel biopsy w/complete axillary dissection: (thinking I should have coded 38900 or 19303)
19302-58, 38505, 38792
01/09/2012- re-excision lumpectomy for margin revision
19301-58
So my question is- should I have not coded for the re-excision and if I should have billed it- is it that code or 19120? the report says all of the tissue from the deep margin of pectoral fascia to the pectoral muscle was removed to create a new deep margin. The lumpectomy cavity was excised and stitched up...
Thanks!!!
