Hi
I have a question regarding shunts. my provider took the patient into the Or and did an externalization of a distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
He did not remove the shunt or revise the shunt.
Do I code a removal with mod 52 ? Or is there anther code I can use?
Has anyone come across this?
Thanks for your help
