Removal Of A Growth Under The Belly Wall Skin

Indiana rates for HCPCS 22902

A soft-tissue growth sitting in the fat layer between the skin and the muscle of the belly wall is cut out, together with a rim of normal tissue around it, and the opening is stitched closed. The growth stays above the muscle layer, so the muscle itself is not opened to reach it. What comes out is usually sent to a laboratory to find out what the growth is and whether it is cancerous.
