What G0416 covers

G0416 covers the laboratory examination of prostate needle-biopsy tissue, including gross assessment and microscopic review. A pathologist typically interprets the tissue after a urologist or other qualified clinician obtains the biopsy, whether sampling is transrectal or transperineal. The code represents the pathology service, not the act of collecting the biopsy cores. It is used for a case with 10–20 separately identified specimens submitted for examination.

Select the code by the number of specimens in the case, rather than the number of slides or tissue fragments. The pathology report and accession records should support the specimen count and findings. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the technical work, such as laboratory processing and staff; billing without either modifier represents the global service. G0416 is not reported once for each specimen.

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.

G0416 billing questions

When is G0416 used instead of 88305?

G0416 applies to a prostate needle-biopsy case with 10–20 specimens. 88305 is the related pathology code for cases below that specimen-count range.

Do I report G0416 for each core?

No. Report the code for the case when it contains 10–20 separately identified specimens; do not submit it once per core, slide, or tissue fragment.

What do modifiers 26 and TC identify?

Modifier 26 reports the professional interpretation, and modifier TC reports the technical work, including laboratory equipment and staff. Without a component modifier, the claim represents the global service.

Does G0416 include performing the biopsy?

No. It covers the pathology examination of the submitted prostate tissue, not the clinician's needle sampling procedure.

What documentation supports G0416?

The pathology accession and report should identify the prostate needle-biopsy specimens and support a case count of 10–20 specimens.

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.
