Coverage indications
Establish a national coverage policy for percutaneous image-guided breast biopsy. Image-guidance include directional, vacuum assisted breast biopsy, automated surgical biopsy, and needle core biopsy. For those lesions that are (1) nonpalpable and (2) BIRADS III, IV, or V, image guidance using stereotactic or ultrasound will be covered. For those lesions that are palpable, individual carriers can decide as to whether or not image guidance will be covered.
