What 10008 covers

A clinician uses fluoroscopic imaging to guide a needle to an additional lesion and aspirates material for examination, commonly cytology. Interventional radiologists and other physicians who perform image-guided biopsies may report the service in an imaging or procedure suite. This code represents an additional target after the first lesion sampled with fluoroscopic guidance; it is not the code for the initial lesion.

Report 10008 with 10007 for the first lesion, and document the additional lesion sampled and the use of fluoroscopic guidance. The record should distinguish each target lesion from repeated needle passes or additional samples from the same lesion. CMS treats 10008 as an add-on code: it must be billed with its primary procedure, and payment is within that procedure’s global period.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

10008 billing questions

When should 10008 be reported instead of 10007?

Use 10007 for the first lesion sampled with fluoroscopic guidance. Report 10008 for each additional lesion sampled during the service.

Can 10008 be billed by itself?

No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with the primary fluoroscopy-guided aspiration biopsy code, 10007.

Does each needle pass support another unit of 10008?

No. The add-on represents an additional lesion, not another pass or specimen from the same lesion.

What documentation supports reporting 10008?

Document the additional lesion sampled, the aspiration biopsy performed, and fluoroscopic guidance. The record should make the separate lesion distinguishable from the first target.

How does 10008 differ from 10006?

Both represent an additional lesion, but 10008 is for fluoroscopic guidance and 10006 is for ultrasound guidance.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
