What 32607 covers

A thoracic surgeon uses a thoracoscope to obtain lung tissue from an infiltrative parenchymal abnormality, often during evaluation of suspected interstitial or other diffuse lung disease when tissue is needed for diagnosis. The procedure is typically performed in an operating room, with specimens sent for pathologic examination. This code distinguishes lung infiltrates from discrete nodules or masses and from abnormalities in the pleura or mediastinum.

Report the service when the operative record documents thoracoscopic biopsy of lung infiltrate(s), including the sampled site and the reason tissue was obtained. The biopsy service includes the thoracoscopic inspection and access needed to perform it; a diagnostic thoracoscopy alone is a different service. The procedure has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
