I need some clarification on the proper billing of CPT 61154 - Burr hole (s) with evacuation and/or drainage of hematoma, extradural or subdural. Based on the description it appears that this one code covers one or more burr holes.
Based on the description it appears that this one code covers one or more burr holes. Yet it says for bilateral to use the 50 modifier. I had a case where there was a burr hole created in the frontal and parietal occipital.
A single bur hole was placed. Dura was opened in a cruciate fashion. Ventricular catheter was advance into the right lateral ventricle with an opening pressue of 10 cm of water. The fluid was very bloody. The ventricular catheter was exited from the scalp through a separate stab incision.

I need some clarification on the proper billing of CPT 61154 - Burr hole (s) with evacuation and/or drainage of hematoma, extradural or subdural. Based on the description it appears that this one code covers one or more burr holes. Yet it says for bilateral to use the 50 modifier. I had a case where there was a burr hole created in the frontal and parietal occipital. The code was billed twice and Medicare paid. I have been told that this code should only be billed once. I am confused. Any insight into the proper billing of this code is greatly appreciated. Also does anyone know of any neurosurgery classes out there?
61154 is a unilateral procedure. If performed bilaterally, you would append modifier 50. The Neurosurgery Coding Companion describes it as a "mirror image".... performed indentically on the opposite side. Below is a link for the regions of the brain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe.
