Shunt From the Brain to a Vein Near the Heart

Missouri rates for HCPCS 62220

A thin tube is placed into a fluid-filled chamber inside the brain and tunneled under the skin down the neck into a large vein, so that excess fluid drains into the bloodstream and is carried away. It treats a build-up of fluid inside the brain that raises the pressure in the head. A valve along the tube controls how quickly the fluid drains.
