Code 77021 is used to report magnetic resonance guidance for placement of a breast localization device. This code is specifically for supervision and interpretation of the procedure. Codes 77022 and 77056 are for different types of procedures and code 77051 is used for biopsy procedures, not for placement of a localization device.
