=== Codes that are both therapeutic and diagnostic ===
=== Related Imaging, Diagnostic and Therapeutic procedures performed at the same time ===
Some interventions can be either or both therapeutic and diagnostic (e.g. [[Diagnostic thoracentesis]] vs [[which therapeutic counterpart/s?]]{{discussion}}). '''For procedures that have both therapeutic and diagnostic aspects, ONLY code the therapeutic/more invasive part'''.
Some interventions consists of imaging and/or diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures.  
 
For these, '''only code the most invasive part''' that implies the other/s. Do '''not''' code the implied codes.

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