I am having a lot of trouble choosing which code would be appropriate for what the doctors indicate as "FNA breast mass" and a "fine needle aspiration of the thyroid". When I look @ the lab results both are under cytology, which steers me towards 10021 or 10022. I am being told by a co-worker to use 19100-19103 for the breast and 60100 for the thyroid, I just don't think this is right. Can someone help me learn the correct way of processing this? I am torn on what to choose and my doctor's do these quite often.
My understanding was that the percutaneous the doctor makes a small knick in the skin before inserting the needle but the small knick isn't required in order to choose that code.
PLEASE HELP ME!
