User id : 49140 on "Liver biopsy specimen not obtained"

Hello,

What cpt code do you use if a liver biopsy was performed, but no specimen was obtained?

The operative report reads "No tissue was obtained. Two passes 16 gauge in diameter were made with the Klastskin needle using ultrasound to mark the site. No biopsies or other specimens were collected for this exam."

There is no reason given as to why a specimen was not obtained.

Thanks!
