Placement of Breast Tissue Marker, Additional Site

Utah rates for HCPCS 19282

This procedure places a small marker, such as a clip or tiny metal marker, inside the breast at an additional site to help doctors precisely locate an area of concern for a later biopsy or surgery, guided by imaging using the same method as the first marker placed during the same visit. It does not remove tissue itself, but marks a specific spot for future reference.
