If a physician performs procedure 45380 (bx). Then after performing the bx he does an ablation 45383 on the same sight. I know you cannot bill both codes due to it being the same sight. Which would be the correct code to bill?

You would report 45383. If he states that he took a biopsy then removed you would only code the removal. The only time you can report both is if it was a completely different site. Hope this helps!
