CPT code 55700 can be billed with or without imaging guidance, such as ultrasound, so imaging guidance can be billed separately if performed. This code should be reported once per session no matter how many cores are obtained, and there is no upper limit to the number of cores taken to bill 55700 once. The procedure may be performed in the ...
CPT code 55706 should not be performed in the office setting, as there are no practice expense inputs to reimburse for supplies, clinical staff, or equipment. This is a 10-day global procedure, and imaging guidance is included so imaging cannot be billed separately.
