Occasionally, a physician will use a fine needle to biopsy a palpable, superficial lesion. Generally, there will not be a fine needle biopsy tariff listed in the Physician’s Manual specific to the anatomical region of interest. Manitoba Health has confirmed that, in these situations, you may submit a claim under tariff *0171, Biopsy of skin, subcutaneous tissue or mucous membrane including simple closure or punch biopsy (Independent Procedure).
