Bone marrow aspiration is a procedure that involves taking a sample of the liquid part of the soft tissue inside your bones. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue found inside bones. It contains cells that produce white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets inside larger bones, such as the: breastbone.

The patient returns one week later and Dr. Smith performs a bone marrow core biopsy in the left posterior iliac crest.#N#Report the first visit using 38220 for bone marrow aspiration performed alone. Report the second visit using 38221 for bone marrow biopsy.
Because the bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy are performed at different sites on the same date of service, report 38221 and 38220, and append modifier 59 to identify the procedure is separate and distinct from the primary procedure.
To reflect standard of care changes, CPT® code descriptors for 38220 Diagnostic bone marrow; aspiration (s) and 38221 Diagnostic bone marrow; biopsy (ies) were revised, and new codes 38222 Diagnostic bone marrow ; biopsy (ies) and aspiration (s) and +20939 Bone marrow aspiration for bone grafting, spine surgery only, through separate skin or fascial incision (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure) were created to describe services more accurately.#N#Per the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the deletion of HCPCS Level II code G0364 is final. Instead of reporting 38221 and G0364 for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, you should report 38222 Diagnostic bone marrow; biopsy (ies) and aspiration (s).
