Placing A Breast Marker, First Site

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 19283

Places a tiny marker, such as a clip, small metal pellet or fine wire, into the breast at an abnormal spot so it can be found again later, for example during surgery or on a future scan. A needle is passed through the skin under imaging guidance and the marker is left behind. This covers the first spot marked, and no tissue is removed.
