Repeat Draining of a Brain Abscess or Cyst

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 61151

A further draining of an abscess or fluid-filled cyst inside the brain, using an opening in the skull that was made at an earlier operation. Fluid is drawn off again through the route already there rather than by creating fresh access. It is done when a collection refills after the first drainage.
