Percutaneous Breast Biopsy DE000

If your doctor notices something unusual on your mammogram or detects a lump in your breast, they may recommend a percutaneous breast biopsy. Although it may sound complicated, this straightforward procedure involves taking a small sample of breast tissue to check for signs of cancer or other breast issues. "Percutaneous" simply means that the tissue is collected through the skin, without the need for a large incision or surgery.


Depending on the area being examined, your doctor might use different tools to guide the procedure. These may include an ultrasound (which uses sound waves to create images), a mammogram (a specialized breast x-ray), or an MRI (which uses magnets and radio waves) to precisely locate the area for sampling. There are a few methods for obtaining the sample: one uses a very fine needle to extract cells (fine-needle aspiration), another involves a slightly larger needle to remove a small piece of tissue (core needle biopsy), and a third is a vacuum-assisted biopsy, where a specialized device collects multiple samples through a single small incision.


This procedure is essential because it helps your doctor determine if there is cause for concern. It is performed with care to ensure your comfort and typically takes only a short time. Afterward, the sample is sent to a lab, where experts examine it under a microscope to identify any cancer cells or other abnormalities. This information is critical for deciding the next steps, whether that involves further tests, treatment, or routine monitoring. Remember, early detection and treatment of potential problems can make a significant difference in your health outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make the most of the information provided?
Use this information to compare healthcare providers and estimate the price you'll pay (see 'What does the estimated price include?' for more information). We recommend verifying this information directly with your provider.
Do my search results include an exhaustive list of providers that offer the service I'm looking for?
No. Our beta search experience currently includes providers for whom we are able to find prices and verify their accuracy (see 'How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?' below for more information). This means there may be other providers available in your area. We are introducing additional providers on a rolling basis. If you don't see a specific provider listed, check back soon.
Why isn't my insurance plan listed?
We are introducing additional national and regional insurance plans on a rolling basis. If you don't see your insurance plan listed, check back soon.
What if I can't find the service I'm looking for?
Our beta search experience includes a limited set of services, which we are growing all the time. If you can't find what you're looking for,
What does the estimated price include?
Estimated prices include facility fees (charges that cover the overhead costs of running a hospital) and professional fees (charges that cover the costs of services provided by medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or lab technicians).
How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?

Turquoise obtains prices from multiple sources, including provider and insurance published data, as well as historical medical claims.

If you're using insurance...

A price is considered fully verified if it is made available by both the provider and the insurance company, and those prices have low variability. A price is considered partially verified if it is made available by one or the other and can be corroborated by historical medical claims data. Turquoise does not currently publish any rates that don't meet these verification criteria.

If you're not using insurance...

Cash-pay prices can only be retrieved from provider-published data.

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?
To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, use the calculator tool on the cost breakdown page. We recommend first logging into your insurance portal or contacting them directly to retrieve your up-to-date deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and service-specific co-pay or co-insurance information.
I enrolled in a government-sponsored healthcare program. Can I use Turquoise to find prices for care?
You should not use Turquoise Health to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or your state's Medicaid program directly for more information.
