Lung SBRT sans biopsy

Probably discussed before, but there are certain instances where imaging findings and history are such that various nodule nomograms would say >95% chance a particular nodule is NSCLC. I'm wondering how often people are treating with no meat, whether there's a greater risk to biopsy than SBRT, or simply patient refusal, and how you're coding this, as in, as a clinical dx of lung cancer or as a pulm nodule. I'm also not infrequently seeing patients who had a pneumo after a nondiagnostic biopsy.
