Open Biopsy Of A Bone Near The Skin Surface

Kansas rates for HCPCS 20240

This procedure surgically opens the skin to remove a small sample of bone tissue from a bone that lies close to the surface of the body, such as one in the wrist, ankle, or lower leg, rather than a bone deep within the body. The sample is examined under a microscope to help diagnose conditions such as infection, tumors, or other bone disease. It's more involved than a needle biopsy but less involved than accessing a deep bone.
