Most vets that I have spoken with about this use an acid-fast stain first and if it is positive confirm it with a PCR (polymerase chain reaction).
As far as biopsy costs go, just sticking a needle in something, like a palpable lump is usually considered a fine needle aspirate and very cheap, but doing a guided needle biopsy of internal tissues is a much bigger endeavor and would be more costly.
