A patient received intrathecal chemo via an Ommaya reservoir. I have 2 coders billing 2 different CPTs. Any one know which is correct? 96542 or 61070?

Thanks.
 
Anytime we have given chemo via an Omaya reservoir, we have billed teh 96542. It is the more specific admin code and states specifically chemotherapy injection. Hope this helps!
