Fine needle aspiration biopsy with ultrasound guidance

A fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is a procedure used to remove a small sample of tissue from a lump or abnormal area in your body for examination under a microscope. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a very thin, hollow needle to collect the tissue sample. The needle is usually guided by ultrasound or another imaging method to ensure it reaches the correct area.


During the procedure, you may feel some pressure or a slight pinch, but it is generally well tolerated and does not require general anesthesia. FNA biopsies are commonly used to evaluate lumps or masses in areas such as the breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, or lungs. The tissue sample is sent to a lab where it is examined by a pathologist to determine if the cells are normal or if there are signs of disease, such as cancer.


The procedure is quick, and most patients can go home the same day. There may be some mild discomfort or bruising at the biopsy site afterward, but these symptoms typically resolve on their own. Your healthcare provider will discuss the results with you once they are available and help guide the next steps if further treatment is needed.

What’s the difference between an individual procedure and a Standard Service Package (SSP)?

Individual Procedure

Individual procedures, like blood tests, each have unique prices and billing codes (like a CPT or HCPCS code). While they can be billed alone, they're usually grouped with other procedures on a claim. This grouping is what determines the total cost of your care.

Standard Service Package (SSP)

A SSP combines all medical services, materials, and fees associated with a healthcare visit or procedure into a single bundle to offer a more comprehensive estimate.
