BREAST BIOPSY, LOCAL EXCISION AND OTHER BREAST PROCEDURES WITH CC/MCC Cost Comparison

584 (DRG)

A breast biopsy is a procedure where a doctor removes a small sample of breast tissue to examine it for signs of disease, often performed when imaging tests show an area that needs further evaluation. Local excision involves removing a larger area of breast tissue along with surrounding margins, typically used to remove lesions or abnormal areas completely. During these procedures, you can expect to receive local anesthesia to numb the area, and you may experience some pressure or minor discomfort, though the procedure itself should not be painful.
