Idaho rates for HCPCS 19285

A small marker, clip, or wire is placed at the site of a breast finding using ultrasound imaging for guidance, so the exact spot can be relocated later. It is typically done before a follow-up procedure such as surgical removal, to help the surgeon find the area precisely. This covers marking one site during the visit.
