C'mon, it's gotta be C. 19101 for the biopsy and 19283 for the stereotactic guidance. Who doesn't know that?

I think the correct answer is D. 19081 for the percutaneous breast biopsy and 19283 for the stereotactic guidance. Easy peasy!

I agree with Brock. The biopsy was performed using stereotactic imaging, so code 19101 is appropriate.
