Please help.
Child accidentally shot self in neck with BB gun. Dr. spent 6 hours in surgery preformed laminoplasty, cervical, with reconstruction. CPT code 63051. During surgery used x-ray twice to locate BB before it was removed from the spinal cord intact. Is there a code for the removal of the BB? All I can find is laminectomy which cannot be reported with 63051.
