Re: Cpt for CRYOABLATION LUNG MASS

Dear friend,

 Thanks for your reply,

The code 32998 is the Ablation of lung by Radio frequency method.  I'm searching for the Cryoablation of lung mass code:If you have any idea about the code , kindly let me know about the codes & update.  Shall i take it as Unlisted procedure (32999)

Thanks & regards,

Titus sam.

Re: Cpt for CRYOABLATION LUNG MASS
I'm with you I can't find anything so I guess you'll have to use the unlisted procedure code......I would recommend that you ask for a number to be listed in the c 3 list if its used enough it may be listed in our level 1 codes at some point... sue

Re: Cpt for CRYOABLATION LUNG MASS

when we talk about cryoablation, a radiofrequency generator is used to connect the ablation probe to remove the lesion. i suggest CPT 32998  would be the correct code for ablation of lung mass.

As far as I know, there is not a specific CPT code at this time for cryoablation of a lung mass. You'll need to use the unlisted code 32999. You'll also want 76940.
