A 25-year-old woman underwent percutaneous breast biopsy on the right breast with placement of a Gelmark clip. The procedure was performed using stereotactic imaging.
CPT code 19081 is used for percutaneous biopsy of breast(s) using stereotactic guidance, which includes the placement of a localization device and imaging of the biopsy specimen when performed. This accurately describes the procedure performed on the right breast with the placement of a Gelmark clip using stereotactic imaging. The other codes either describe open biopsies or separate procedures that are not applicable here.References: AMA's CPT® Professional Edition (current year)
