After a breast biopsy reveals a benign lump, what report code should be used?

The appropriate code for a breast biopsy that reveals a benign lump is 19120. This code is used specifically for the excision of breast lesions, which includes procedures performed to remove benign lumps for diagnostic and treatment purposes. In scenarios where a biopsy is conducted, the purpose is often to confirm whether a lump is benign or malignant, and once confirmed benign, coding for the excision or biopsy itself is necessary for healthcare documentation and billing practices.

The other options do not apply in this context. They either refer to different types of procedures or office visits that are not relevant to the specific action of performing a biopsy. Therefore, using 19120 correctly categorizes the medical service performed and ensures that the healthcare provider is compensated appropriately for their work with breast biopsies.
