I am trying to accurately code a case. the PT has inguinal lymphadenopathy and the doctor is planning a deep inguinal lymph node biopsy. Some suggested using the unlisted code 38999. Superficial node biopsy 38500, staging lymphadenectomy 38562 or biopsy deep cervical node 38510 are also suggested, but he superficial one doesn’t pay much. Your thoughts please! Thanks!
