Hello,
Physician is asking if when reporting code 61867,
Twist drill, burr hole, craniotomy, or craniectomy with stereotactic implantation of
neurostimulator electrode array in subcortical site (e.g., thalamus globus pallidus,
subthalamic nucleus, periventricular, periaqueductal gray), with use of intraoperative
microelectrode recording; first array
May he report code 61868 for second array through original burr hole or does code 61868 require additional burr hole to be reported?
From what I am seeing, I believe second burr hole is required, but not finding anything in writing to provide to him.
Thank you,
LBinon
