Bone Marrow Collection From the Patient

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 38232

This procedure collects bone marrow directly from the patient's own body, usually from the hip bone, so it can later be given back after high-dose treatment such as chemotherapy. Because the marrow comes from and is returned to the same person, there is no need to match it to a donor. The collected marrow is typically processed and frozen for storage until it is needed.
