Wiki Billing burr hole

[icys@aol.com]

Pre op dx: Brain tumor
post op dx: Brain tumor

procedure:
1. Right burr hole for a stereotactic brain biopsy
2. Use of medtronic stealth station intraoperative neuronavigation.

I would like to know if the code 61140 is the right code that includes both procedures... What do you advice please?
