Bone Cyst Fluid Drainage and Injection

Arizona rates for HCPCS 20615

This procedure uses a needle to drain fluid from a cyst inside a bone and, in the same visit, often injects medication into the empty space to help treat the cyst. It is used to relieve pressure from the fluid-filled cavity and support healing of the surrounding bone. This approach can reduce the risk of the bone fracturing at the site of the cyst.
