32668 Diagnostic Wedge Resection followed by anatomic lung resection

Date: Mar 29, 2024

Question:

When two separate nodular areas located on the same lobe of the lung are resected and sent for frozen section followed by lobectomy (during the same session) of the same lobe of the lung, can we bill for each of the separate nodules - 32668 x 2? Or can we only report 32668 x 1 since they are both located on the same lobe of the lung?
