Partial Removal of the Breastbone

New Hampshire rates for HCPCS 21620

Removes part of the sternum, the flat bone running down the center of the chest. It is done to take out a section that is infected, dead, or involved by a growth, while leaving the remainder of the bone in place. Enough of the breastbone is kept that the ribs on each side retain their support.
