Does anyone know the best code to use for a breast punch biopsy?
Thank you soo much :D
 
It depends on how deep the tissue is sampled.

11100--skin, subcutaneous tissue, and/or mucous membrane
19100-19103--deeper tissue
The instructions for excisional breast surgery (paragraphs just before CPT 19100) offer better explanations.
