Open Biopsy of Deep Neck Lymph Node

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 38510

A surgeon makes an incision to access and remove a lymph node located deep in the neck for examination under a microscope. This helps determine whether the node shows signs of infection, inflammation, or cancer. Because the node lies deeper in the tissue, this requires a more involved surgical approach than sampling a node just under the skin.
