I do FNA biospy and adequacy at bedside with radiologists and pulmonary
docs I use 88173  this includes tech component.


Is anyone aware of a CPT code for a Tech assisted bone marrow aspiration
and biopsy?  From time to time we have been helping the Oncologist and
Radiologist on these procedures. It is becoming more of a common practice
and we spend anywhere from a ½ hour to 1 ½ hours and not billing for our
services. Is there anyone else in a similar situation?
