Ultrasound Guidance For Heart Biopsy

Montana rates for HCPCS 76932

This covers the use of real-time ultrasound imaging of the heart to help a doctor safely guide a biopsy device to take a small sample of heart tissue. The imaging lets the physician see the heart's structures directly while positioning the biopsy instrument, which helps improve accuracy and safety. It is performed alongside the biopsy procedure rather than as a stand-alone service.
