Amy underwent burr hole surgery for biopsy of an intracranial lesion. The surgeon, Dr. Stanley, had to perform an abscess drainage of a cyst that was found during the procedure next to the lesion. Would the drainage of the cyst be reported separately from the biopsy code?
Homework Answers
A surgery for biopsy of an intracranial lesion was performed on Amy. However, a cyst was found during the process and an abscess drainage was performed next to the lesion. This was an unusual process so it will be reported separately. Moreover, it require additional charges to be charged from Amy as these type of complications demand additional services and procedures. This case will require the doctor to use a shunt. A shunt is a medical device or technology that allows the movement of fluid from one body part to another.
