Question:
Procedure: Access of Codman Holter Rickham reservoir, 9.5mm Burr hole; Site: R frontal parietal reservoir; Medication Administration: Brineuria infusion; Brineura administration of 4 hour infusion. Can you please advise the correct CPT to report for this administration; would CPT 96542 be appropriate? This is high risk; however, the drug itself is not chemo.
