Bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy procedures are often performed together, often at the same surgical site. If aspiration is performed alone, the appropriate code to report is CPT code 38220. When a bone marrow biopsy is performed alone, the appropriate code to report is CPT code 38221.

Use procedure code 38240 to report the transplantation of allogeneic bone marrow.
Bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy are procedures to collect and examine bone marrow — the spongy tissue inside some of your larger bones. Bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy can show whether your bone marrow is healthy and making normal amounts of blood cells.

Report 38220 when bone marrow aspiration is performed alone, and 38221 when bone marrow biopsy is performed alone. According to National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Policy Manual for Medicare Services, Chapter 5, Section E1, codes 38220 and 38221 are reported one time only, even if the provider performs multiple aspirations or scrapings at the same insertion site.#N#Example 2: A 50-year-old male patient with history of leukemia presents to the facility and Dr. Smith performs a bone marrow aspiration in the left side posterior iliac crest. At the completion of the procedure, the specimen is sent for analysis. 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 collect bone marrow from the posterior iliac crest, the provider administered approximately 400 needle sticks. After the marrow was aspirated, the needle was removed immediately. Blood was given to the donor as support, and as needed. At the end of the procedure the donor was transferred to the recovery room.
According to an excerpt in the NCCI Policy Manual for Medicare Service, Chapter 5, Section E1, “CPT codes 38220 and 38221 may only be reported together if the two procedures are performed at separate sites or at separate patient encounters.
Obtaining bone marrow by aspiration or sampling, described by 38220 and 38221, is for testing only, and does not include transplant purposes. When harvesting bone marrow for transplantation is done at the same time as the aspiration and biopsy, the code for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are not separately reportable.
The Alphabetic Index entry main term Extraction, subterm Bone Marrow refers the coding professional to Table 07D. The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 07DR3ZX. The fourth character (R) identifies the body part as bone marrow, iliac. Unlike ICD-9-CM, the code specifies the specific location of the bone marrow biopsy.
Procedures performed following a delivery or abortion for curettage of the endometrium or evacuation of retained products of conception are all coded in the Obstetrics section, to the root operation Extraction, and the body part Products of Conception, Retained.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index entry main term Ablation, subterm endometrium identifies code 68.23, Endometrial ablation. Code 68.23 would be assigned whether or not a scope was utilized during the procedure.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index entry main term Amputation, subterm midtarsal identifies code 84.12, Amputation through foot. This code is assigned for amputations of forefoot, amputation through middle of foot, midtarsal amputation, and transmetatarsal amputation of either the right or left foot.
The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 0Y6N0ZF. The fourth character (N) identifies the body part as the left foot and the seventh character (F) identifies the level of detachment as partial fifth ray. The definition for partial fifth ray is amputation anywhere along the shaft or head of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot. The fifth character identifies the technique to reach the operative site or approach. The procedural approach was open (0) because an incision was made to reach the operative site.
Editor's note: This is the second in a series of 10 articles discussing the 31 root operations of ICD-10-PCS.
The fifth character of the code identifies the technique used to reach the operative site. The approach for the bone marrow biopsy was percutaneous (3). In ICD-10-PCS the fifth character always identifies the specific approach utilized to reach the operative site.
The implementation of ICD-10-PCS has enhanced the skills of coding professionals as it contains many unique features that provide an opportunity to accurately reflect the complexity of the procedures being performed. The assignment of ICD-9-CM procedure codes for spinal fusions often challenged coding professionals, and this has not changed with the transition to ICD-10-PCS. As with the coding of other complex surgical procedures, coding professionals struggle with identifying which portion of the spinal fusion procedure to code or not to code.
Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (K)—bone is harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver
The codes for the anterior spinal fusion are 0SG00AJ (L4-L5) and 0SG30AJ (L5-S1) . Two codes are also assigned for the posterior spinal fusion, 0SG0071 (L4-L5) and 0SG3071 (L5-S1) . Codes 0SB20ZZ and 0SB40ZZ are also assigned for the discectomy performed at two different levels of the spine. Lastly, code 0QB20ZZ is assigned for the harvesting of the right iliac crest bone graft.
The code for this procedure is 0QB20ZZ, with the body part character (fourth character) being 2 for right pelvic bone. The iliac crest does not have its own distinct body part value in ICD-10-PCS, with the ICD-10-PCS Body Part Key indicating that the pelvic bone is the closest proximal branch.
If an interbody fusion device is used (alone or containing other material like bone graft), the procedure is coded with the device value Interbody Fusion Device (A)
If a mixture of autologous and nonautologous bone graft (with or without biological or synthetic extenders or binders) is used, the procedure is coded with device value Autologous Tissue Substitute (7)
If the operative report documents that a discectomy is performed , the correct root operation is Excision. However, if the operative report documents a “total discectomy,” the root operation is Resection.
Assign code 77.7X, Excision of bone for grafting, for locally harvested bone used in grafting. There are no instructional notes in the Tabular List or Index to Procedures that prohibits the coding of locally harvested bone. Please see Coding Clinic Second Quarter 2000, pages 12-13, for an example using locally harvested bone for grafting.
We have been instructed that locally harvested bone used as graft material in spinal fusion surgery is not coded separately. Harvesting of bone for grafting could only be coded separately if the harvested bone comes from a different location (i.e., iliac crest or rib cage). Can locally harvested bone used for grafting in spinal fusion be coded separately?
Bone marrow aspiration code 38220 changed as of Jan 1 2018 and it now states it is for diagnostic purposes only. So it should not be used for what you are describing. Under CPT code 20939 in your Professional Addition CPT book it states for bone marrow aspiration other than spinal procedures you are to use 20999.
38220#N#You see this on repairs. It's not PRP.#N#After a repair the surgeon can inject bone marrow aspirate to help facilitate the healing process. While there is no code for injecting it, you can bill for obtaining the bone morrow with 38220. This will usually be done at a different site.
