Wiki CT guided localizer placement

[prabha]

Will CPT 77001 alone work for this or CPT 10035 will do?

Patient was placed in supine position. A limited focused CT was performed and an entry site determined. A stab dermatotomy was performed. A 16-gauge ascites scout localizer needle was advanced under CT guidance into the left upper lobe pulmonary nodule in the localizer tag deployed. A post procedure CT was performed.

Successful CT guided preoperative Saviscout localizer placement for left upper lobe pulmonary nodule.

10035 - Placement of soft tissue localization device(s) (eg, clip, metallic pellet, wire/needle, radioactive seeds), percutaneous, including imaging guidance; first lesion. That will answer your 77001 question.
