Hello to all friendly coders-
Please help desperately!
This is my case-pt was admitted with intraventricular hemorrhage due to intracerebral hematoma.
Here is the procedure-The scalp was opened with a 10 blade on the right side. It was inflated, and a Weitlaner retractor was placed. A single bur hole was placed. Dura was opened in a cruciate fashion. Ventricular catheter was advance into the right lateral ventricle with an opening pressue of 10 cm of water. The fluid was very bloody. The ventricular catheter was exited from the scalp through a separate stab incision. It was secured to the scalp with multiple sutures and staples.The wound was closed in standard two-layer fashion, with staple for the skin.
These are my codes:
61156,61107 and 61210 I'm not sure which one is the appropriate code on this case.
Thank you,
brainwash
