Breast Mammotome biopsy and excision cost calculator

This English page follows the Korean Mammotome guide. It preserves the same nodule-size price table, added-nodule factor, sedation option, device index, hospital and region adjustments, indemnity generation, and tax-credit treatment.

Base price by nodule size

The Korean source explains that Mammotome cost varies widely by hospital and lesion size. It cites a HIRA non-covered range from KRW 76,000 to KRW 3,560,000, then uses model prices for practical estimation: KRW 500,000 for small nodules, KRW 700,000 for medium nodules, KRW 950,000 for large nodules, and KRW 1,300,000 for extra-large nodules.

Additional nodules are modeled at 60 percent of the base nodule price. Sedation adds KRW 150,000 when selected. Device choice is also preserved: standard device index 1.0, EnCor 1.08, and Mammotome 1.15.

Therapeutic versus preventive purpose

The Korean guide distinguishes therapeutic removal, diagnostic biopsy, preventive removal, and cosmetic or patient-requested removal. The purpose affects private-insurance claim risk even when the hospital invoice looks similar.

The calculator keeps hospital type, region, indemnity generation, annual salary, number of nodules, lesion size, anesthesia, and device type because insurers often look for pathology, imaging, doctor opinion, and medical necessity.

Claim documentation

The Korean content recommends preserving ultrasound findings, BI-RADS category, pathology report, procedure note, receipt, and detailed statement. Preventive removal without suspicious findings can be disputed.

This English version keeps the same warning: the estimate is a reimbursement scenario, not a guarantee that a specific Mammotome claim will be paid.
