Deep Neck Or Chest Wall Soft Tissue Tumor Removal

Idaho rates for HCPCS 21556

This procedure surgically removes a soft-tissue tumor located in the neck or upper chest wall from underneath the muscle layer, rather than just beneath the skin. The surgeon removes the growth along with a margin of surrounding tissue. This deeper, sub-muscular approach is more involved than removing a similar growth that sits closer to the skin surface.
