About 55714: In-bore image-guided prostate biopsy
Reports prostate tissue sampling performed with the patient in a CT or MRI scanner, using in-bore imaging guidance to target a lesion.
This service covers prostate tissue sampling performed with the patient in the CT or MRI scanner while imaging guides the biopsy needle to a targeted lesion. Urologists typically perform it in a hospital or other setting equipped for in-bore imaging and image-guided needle placement. It differs from MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy, which uses ultrasound during sampling and combines it with previously acquired MRI information.
Report the code when the biopsy is performed using in-bore CT or MRI guidance; the operative report should identify the imaging method, targeted lesion, and tissue sampling performed. The service 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 for this service. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

55714 billing questions
How is this different from MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy?
This code is for biopsy performed in-bore under CT or MRI guidance. MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy uses ultrasound during sampling with MRI information fused for targeting.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Document that sampling was performed with the patient in the CT or MRI scanner, the imaging modality used for guidance, and the targeted lesion and biopsy performed.
Is same-day postoperative care separately reported?
Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the service's 0-day global period.
Can modifier 50 be used?
No. Bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
Can an assistant surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction.
