43235, 43237, 43239 questions. Need Help!
I have some questions on some codes and I was hoping you could give me some education. For CPT 43235 does a specimen have to be collected to use this code or is this with/without?
For 43248 can a specimen be collected or is there a different code?
For 43239 is there a difference between biopsy and specimen?
