Image-guided biopsy
About 10007: Fluoroscopic-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy
Fluoroscopic-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy samples the first lesion for cytologic evaluation when fluoroscopy directs needle placement.
The physician uses live fluoroscopic imaging to guide a fine needle into a target lesion and obtain cellular material for evaluation. A radiologist, interventional radiologist, or another physician trained in image-guided procedures may perform the service in a hospital or outpatient setting. The code represents sampling of the first lesion with fluoroscopic guidance, rather than the number of needle passes or specimens collected from that lesion.
Report 10007 when fluoroscopy guides aspiration of the first lesion. The record should identify the target, document fluoroscopic guidance and needle aspiration, and support that a lesion was sampled. For each additional lesion sampled in the same session, use the corresponding add-on code, 10008. Fluoroscopic guidance is included in this service. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and applies the standard 50% reduction to the others.

10007 billing questions
When should 10007 be chosen instead of 10005 or 10009?
Use 10007 when fluoroscopy guides the aspiration. Code 10005 is for ultrasound guidance, and 10009 is for CT guidance.
How is another lesion sampled during the same session reported?
Report 10008 for each additional lesion sampled with fluoroscopic guidance. Do not count separate needle passes into one lesion as additional lesions.
Can fluoroscopic guidance be billed separately?
No. Fluoroscopic guidance is included in 10007.
What documentation supports reporting 10007?
Document the lesion sampled, the use of fluoroscopy to guide needle placement, and the fine needle aspiration performed.
How does Medicare handle multiple procedures in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and the other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction.
