Second, code what was done: [[CCI Component#Component 2|Component 2]].

*The menu of diagnostic modalities has JUST TWO ITEMS:

** '''Tissue biopsy'''

** '''Invasive inspection or exploration'''

*If at a single sitting a person had BOTH of these done, code the biopsy only.

=== Codes that are both therapeutic and diagnostic ===

Some interventions can be either or both therapeutic and diagnostic (e.g. [[Diagnostic thoracentesis]] vs [[which therapeutic code/s?]]{{discussion}}). '''For procedures that have both therapeutic and diagnostic aspects, ONLY code the therapeutic part'''.

Some interventions can be either or both therapeutic and diagnostic (e.g. [[Diagnostic thoracentesis]] vs [[which therapeutic code/s?]]{{discussion}}). '''For procedures that have both therapeutic and diagnostic aspects, ONLY code the therapeutic/more invasive part'''.

~~Example~~: for a [[Coronary angiogram (diagnostic cardiac catherization)]] where [[Coronary angioplasty with stenting]] happens in the same sitting, only code the [[Coronary angioplasty with stenting]].

Examples:

* for a [[Coronary angiogram (diagnostic cardiac catherization)]] where [[Coronary angioplasty with stenting]] happens in the same sitting, only code the [[Coronary angioplasty with stenting]].

* if a tissue [[Biopsy]] is done as part of an invasive [[Inspection, Exploration]] code only the [[Biopsy]].
