Skin Sensor Check Of Brain Shunt Flow

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 0639T

Checks whether fluid is moving through a shunt tube that drains fluid from around the brain, using a small sensor placed on the skin over the tubing. The sensor tracks how heat spreads along the tube, which shows whether fluid is flowing, and ultrasound may be used first to locate the tubing.
