What is the icd 9 code for needle biopsy of chest?
The ICD-9 procedure code for "chest wall biopsy" is 34.23. That is the closest to needle biopsy of chest that ICD-9 gets. Biopsies are first coded according to anatomical site and the method (needle, punch, aspirate, etc.) would be indicated by a further code from the CPT (Common Procedural Terminology) manual published by the AMA. In the case of needle biopsy of chest (34.23) there is one CPT code (they are 5 digit codes) for percutaneous needle for muscle (20206) that it "crosswalks" to. There are other codes that also "crosswalk" to that procedure code; such as deep or superficial muscle biopsy or biopsy of the neck or thorax. There are internal organs that can be needle biopsied from the chest but they would have to be known to answer the question. Your question would have to have more information to answer correctly or maybe this answers it. Tell me if it helps.
