Collarbone Or Shoulder Blade Cyst Removal

Alabama rates for HCPCS 23146

A benign cyst or tumor within the collarbone or shoulder blade is surgically scraped out or removed, and the resulting space is filled with donor bone graft rather than bone taken from the patient's own body. This helps support the bone structurally while it heals. It's performed for growths that are noncancerous but large enough to risk weakening the bone.
