No one at my local VA suggested a biopsy to confirm diagnosis of the NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) but I think that if I were to go to a transplant or a liver clinic (would have to travel to San Fran for this) they would prolly want to do a stab and jab. I personally don't feel that this is necessary for diagnosis.
How are your mom's liver enzymes? Is she diabetic?

She is newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. I am not aware of any LFT's. They may have been done, but were not shared with her.
Her insurance is Highmark BC/BS PPO
