Brain Electrode Strip Placed Through Burr Holes

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 61531

Placement of a strip of recording electrodes onto the surface of the brain through small holes drilled in the skull, rather than by lifting out a section of bone. The electrodes stay in place for days so that seizures can be recorded and their starting point identified. The wires are led out through the scalp and connected to a recorder.
