My doctor did a single burr hole for skull biopsy. He is billing for 61500 but I don't think that's right, he didn't excise the tumor and didn't do a craniectomy. I know AANS recommends 61304 for brain biospy... so I was looking at 61250..? It has the same verbage as 61304 but it's burr hole instead of craniectomy... althought it wasn't brain biopsy..it was skull. Or mabye 61500-52? Unlisted code?
He also used stealth so then i thought 61751..but again, this is for brain, not skull biopsy.
I looked in 2000 codes but nothing fits either.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
