Lung Biospy

Lung Biopsy

The lung biospy code 32405, “Biopsy, lung or mediastinum, percutaneous needle,” has been replaced. The new code 32408, “Core needle biopsy, lung or mediastinum, percutaneous, including imaging guidance, when performed”. Accordingly, imaging guidance may no longer be billed separately. When you perform more than one core needle biopsy of the lung or mediastinum on separate lesions during the same session on the same day, then 32408 bills once for each additional lesion along with modifier -59.
