Additional-Site Breast Biopsy With MRI Guidance

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 19086

This is an add-on service for performing a needle biopsy of an additional area of concern in the breast, using MRI imaging to guide the needle, during the same visit as a first MRI-guided breast biopsy. It applies when more than one suspicious area needs to be sampled in one session. It is always performed and reported together with the first biopsy site from the same visit, not on its own.
