Correct answer: A

The procedure described is flexible bronchoscopy with bronchial biopsy (biopsy taken from the bronchi/bronchial tubes).

31625 = Bronchoscopy, flexible, with biopsy (single or multiple)

Important CPC concept: when the CPT® descriptor is “single or multiple”, you code it once, even if multiple biopsies are taken.

31628 is for transbronchial lung biopsy, which is not what is described (the question specifies bronchial tubes/bronchial biopsies).Therefore, A is correct.

Place of Service (POS) codes are two-digit numeric codes used on professional claims to identify where a service was performed (e.g., office, inpatient hospital, outpatient hospital).

Reporting an incorrect POS can affect reimbursement and may result in claim denial ✔

POS codes are not alphanumeric

They describe many locations, not just ICU

POS codes are maintained by CMS, not found in the ICD-10-CM code book
