HCPCS 19083

Biopsy, breast, with placement of breast localization device(s) (eg, clip, metallic pellet), when performed, and imaging of the biopsy specimen, when performed, percutaneous; first lesion, including ultrasound guidance

AI EXPLANATION: An ultrasound-guided breast biopsy is an outpatient procedure where a doctor uses real-time ultrasound imaging to locate an abnormality in the breast and collect a small tissue sample using a needle. During the procedure, a tiny metallic clip or marker may be placed at the site to identify the area on future mammograms, and the removed sample may be imaged to confirm that the target tissue was sampled.
