A lung biopsy is a procedure that involves obtaining a tissue specimen from the lungs for microscopic analysis to establish a precise diagnosis.

~~There are three types of lung biopsies:~~

=== Open Lung Biopsy===

#An '''open lung biopsy''' is performed via a surgical incision in the chest. When they open the lung area, they use a scope to examine the lung which is a thoroscopy.

~~#*We track this specific procedure as indicated in this article.~~

~~#A needle lung biopsy, or '''percutaneous lung biopsy''', is performed by passing a biopsy needle through the skin into the lung. May or may not require fluroscopic or CT guidance.~~

~~#A '''bronchoscopic lung biopsy''' is performed using a bronchoscope, and may or may not require fluoroscopic or CT guidance.~~

#*see [[Bronchoscopy/Laryngoscopy]]. We track the scope however, we '''do not track if a biopsy was taken during the scope'''. Please do not code 777-90 [[Other Thoracic - Other]] along with the Bronchscopy.

=== Needle Lung Biopsy ===

A needle lung biopsy, or '''percutaneous lung biopsy''', is performed by passing a biopsy needle through the skin into the lung. May or may not require fluroscopic or CT guidance. This is not a diagnosis we code ([[List of Diagnoses we didn't code in old schema#Surgeries_or_procedures_not_currently_coded]].

=== Bronchoscopic Lung Biopsy ===

A '''bronchoscopic lung biopsy''' is performed using a bronchoscope, and may or may not require fluoroscopic or CT guidance.
