Insurance and Medical Coding Test Prep

Answer: C - The correct code for the procedure is 38525 (Biopsy or Excision of Lymph Node(s); Open, Deep Axillary Nodes). This code does not need to be reported with more than one unit because the code description allows for the excision of multiple nodes. Code 38555 is also incorrect because this code is used for the excision of a cystic hygroma, not a deep axillary lymph node.
