Wide Removal of a Neck or Chest Wall Growth

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 21557

Wide surgical removal of a growth in the soft tissue of the neck or the front of the chest wall, taking a cuff of surrounding healthy tissue with it rather than shelling the lump out. The wider margin is used when the growth may be cancerous, so that none is left behind at the edges. This version covers the smaller growths treated this way.
