What is the proper way to code a "needle" biopsy of the thyroid? The report does not specify whether it is FNA or core.
 
Diagnostic procedure codes
Management begins with diagnosis. The appropriate CPT codes for diagnostic procedures of the thyroid are:
•10021, fine-needle aspiration without imaging.
•10022, fine-needle aspiration with image guidance. (Submit with the appropriate imaging code.)
•60100, percutaneous core-needle biopsy.
If you don't have whole information ask physician what kind of procedure he make.
