For a complete bilateral mastectomy with insertion of breast prosthesis performed during the same surgical session, the correct CPT® codes are:

1. 19303-50: This code represents a complete mastectomy (removal of breast tissue) performed bilaterally (indicated by the -50 modifier).

2. 19340-50: This code is for the immediate insertion of a breast prosthesis following mastectomy, also performed bilaterally.

Explanation of other options:

A. 19303-50, 19342-50: Incorrect because 19342 is for the insertion of a breast implant, which differs from a prosthesis.

B. 19305-50, 19340-50: 19305 describes a modified radical mastectomy, which is more extensive than what is documented here.

C. 19325-50: This code represents a breast augmentation procedure, not a mastectomy with prosthesis insertion.

Thus, the correct answer is D. 19303-50, 19340-50, which accurately describes a bilateral mastectomy with prosthesis insertion.
