Placing a Drainage Shunt in an Unborn Baby

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 59076

Places a small drainage tube in an unborn baby while still in the womb, using ultrasound to guide a needle through the mother's abdomen and uterus. The shunt lets fluid that has built up inside the baby drain continuously, so the organ it is pressing on can develop.
