I am stumped, any ideas would be great. I know this is coded with 19302. My problem is this is a wire-localization lumpectomy. Wire-guided lumpectomy, sentinel node sampling, then completion axillary lymph node dissection. ? If I code 19125 excision of breast lesion identified by preoperative placement of radiological marker, how do I include the total axillary lymphadenopathy? Can I code 19302 since this describes both mastectomy and axillary dissection and forget about the 19125? Thanks!
