Coding for multiple breast interventions In facilities that perform breast interventions, we see a great deal of confusion regarding the coding rules for multiple modalities and interventions in the same encounter. For example, in certain situations, facilities may perform ultrasound and mammography procedures on the same day of service, but dont understand that they can bill for both modalities. Under-coding, as well as over-coding or simply assigning the wrong codes, are increasing the risk of regulatory noncompliance and, in many instances, affecting reimbursement. Breast and Bone Density Procedure Coding Guide explains how to properly code for multiple modalities and interventions.
