This is the closest forum to diagnostic radiology, so I'm posting this here in hopes to get some feedback: When coding Needle localization in a breast biopsy case, somewhere I read (I think in an audio handout) that the 19295 (image guided placement of tissue marker/clip) is rolled into the 19290 (placement of needle localization wire) so you cannot code it together, yet CPT does not say you cannot code it together.
Can anyone comment on these two codes ?
