Question #1:
CPT code: 19081, 19281
Rationale: when coding the breast biopsy, three main things must be included such as biopsy, type of imaging guidance, and localization device. Here the biopsy is done on the left breast 90 degrees to the lateral. the biopsy was done under stereotactic guidance and Localization device clip is placed in the biopsy cavity. So it is coded as 19081. Later, localization of device for the single lesion is also confirmed with mammography which is added as a code ( 19281) along with the primary code.
