Drilled Hole In The Skull To Draw Off A Deep Collection

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 61156

Makes a small round hole through the skull and passes a fine tube into the brain tissue to draw off a collection of blood or fluid lying within the brain itself. Removing the collection relieves pressure on the brain around it. It is a smaller operation than opening the skull to lift the collection out under direct view.
