Deep Muscle Biopsy

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 20205

Through an incision, a sample of muscle is taken from beneath the covering layer, deeper than a surface sample, and sent to a laboratory. The tissue is examined for muscle disease, inflammation, infection or damage to the nerves supplying the muscle. It is usually done with numbing medicine, sometimes with sedation.
