Surgical Biopsy Of A Deep Bone

Kansas rates for HCPCS 20245

This procedure surgically opens tissue to reach and remove a sample from a deep bone, such as a long bone in the arm, leg, or pelvis, for laboratory examination. It requires a more involved surgical approach than sampling a bone closer to the skin surface, because of how far the bone sits beneath overlying muscle and tissue.
