Breast procedure
About 19105: Cryoablation of breast fibroadenoma
Percutaneous cryoablation treats a diagnosed breast fibroadenoma under ultrasound guidance; report one unit for each fibroadenoma treated.
This service uses a probe to freeze and ablate a breast fibroadenoma, with ultrasound guidance used to target the lesion. It is typically performed by a breast surgeon or radiologist in an outpatient setting for a patient whose fibroadenoma is suitable for ablation. The approach treats the mass in place rather than removing it for examination as a surgical specimen; the code includes the ultrasound guidance.
Report one unit for each fibroadenoma ablated, not for each freeze cycle or probe placement. The record should identify each treated fibroadenoma and document the ablation and ultrasound-guided targeting. This minor 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 50% reduction. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
