Breast Ultrasound (Limited, One Breast)

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 76642

A focused ultrasound exam of one breast that looks at a specific area of concern, such as a lump or an abnormality found on a prior mammogram, rather than scanning the entire breast. It uses sound waves to create images that can help distinguish a fluid-filled cyst from a solid mass. It's a narrower exam than a complete breast ultrasound covering the whole breast.
