In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Dr. Ray Painter break down the financial realities of the new prostate biopsy CPT codes and what they mean for urology practices. Moving beyond coding mechanics, the discussion focuses on the economic differences between transrectal and transperineal approaches, MRI fusion versus ultrasound guidance, targeted lesion add-on payments, and the site-of-service differential between office and facility settings. They explore how practice expense values, capital equipment costs, disposable supplies, physician time, and block scheduling all factor into the decision to bring advanced biopsy techniques in-house. The episode emphasizes balancing clinical judgment with financial sustainability—helping practices evaluate whether expanding in-office prostate biopsy services makes sense now and in the future.
