Compare hospitals → What is bone & muscle biopsy?
A procedure to remove a small sample of bone, muscle, or connective tissue so it can be examined for infection, tumor, or other disease. The stay covers the biopsy plus care for related health conditions.
Bone & Muscle Biopsy is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 478 (with complications), classified within the Musculoskeletal diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
