Coding for a VATS with lung biopsy. The surgeon took a biopsy from upper, middle, and lower lobes of left lung. The code 32607 is for lung infiltrates, 32608 is for biopsy of lung nodule or mass, and code 32609 is for the pleura. None of these seem appropriate to me. Am I missing something or is there not a code for biopsy of the lobes of the lungs. Please help.
