Breast Cyst Fluid Drainage

Nevada rates for HCPCS 19000

A thin needle is inserted into a fluid-filled cyst in the breast to draw out (aspirate) the fluid, both to relieve discomfort from the cyst and to check the fluid if needed. It is a quick outpatient procedure usually done in a clinic, often with ultrasound used to guide the needle to the cyst.
