Dye Injection Into a Milk Duct

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 19030

Injects a small amount of contrast dye into a single milk duct through the nipple so the duct shows up on breast X-ray pictures. It is used mainly to look for the cause of discharge from the nipple, such as a small growth inside the duct. The injection is the service here; taking and reading the pictures is separate.
