I am stumped to find a pleural bx code performed with a VATS talc pleurodesis. Doctor performed a bronch with biopsies of the mid lobe but the pleural bx was done during the VATS. If a thoracoscopy was not performed, 32609 would not apply would it and if not, what would?
Thanks for your help and input.
