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. This minimally invasive procedure uses a very thin, hollow needle to collect the tissue sample. The needle is typically 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 a pathologist examines it to determine if the cells are normal or show signs of disease, such as cancer.


The procedure is quick, and most patients can go home the same day. Some mild discomfort or bruising may occur at the biopsy site, but these symptoms typically resolve on their own. Your health care provider will discuss the results with you once they are available and 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)

Turquoise Health has developed SSPs which combine multiple medical services, materials, and fees associated with a health care visit or procedure into a single bundle to offer a more comprehensive estimate. SSPs are designed based on how health care procedures are commonly billed on claims. When discussing estimates with healthcare providers, you can refer to the individual codes listed in the 'Procedures included in this package' section of the tool.

Contact provider to verify your estimate

Have your service name, codes, and payment preference ready. If you’re using insurance, you may be asked for insurance details like your Member or Group ID.
