[Daniel Hewitt]

We were just having a debate about these charges, if I have 20 prostate
bx's can I only charge G0416 one time or 20 times?

Also, as of 2015, the G0416 code is used for ANY NUMBER of prostate
biopsies for Medicare, not just 10-20.

For commercial, each individually submitted prostate biopsy is coded as

I know the CMS (Medicare) code for 10-20 prostate biopsy specimens is
G0416 but what is the Cpt (non-Medicare) code?
