Good afternoon,
Does anyone know if you can bill a bone biopsy prior to the RF ablation of the tumor at the same site, same setting. For example, I have an RF ablation of a humeral head tumor and prior to the ablation, they did a CT guided needle biopsy of the tumor. I know the ablation code is 20982 (includes guidance), but should I also bill the 20225 (it doesn't bundle per CCI), and if so, would I bill the guidance with the biopsy portion?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
