Coding Question

[donk]

Radiologists at our hospital perform medical renal biopsies several times a month and pathologists in our group do the adequacy assessments using a dissecting scope and then divide the tissue into the appropriate fixatives before sending the case out to a nearby academic medical center for diagnostic work up. What CPT code should our group charge in this scenario?
