2021 BILLING AND CODING GUIDE PERITONEAL DIALYSIS …

1 = 2021 Medicare Physician, Hospital Outpatient, ASC CODING and Payment Medtronic Argyle catheters are used for PERITONEAL DIALYSIS in patients with renal failure. In a surgical procedure performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery center, the inner tip of the catheter is inserted within the patient s PERITONEAL cavity. A portion of the catheter is then tunneled subcutaneously along the patient s abdominal wall and the other end of the catheter exits through the skin. The catheter can then be connected externally to dialysate fluid which is introduced into the abdomen and later flushed out. The peritoneum itself acts as a filtration membrane, removing waste products that the kidneys can no longer filter out.

Hospitals use HCPCS codes only on outpatient bills. HCPCS codes are not used on inpatient hospital bills. Medicare specifically instructs ASCs not to bill HCPCS codes for devices that are packaged into the payment for the CPT ™* code, as is the case for peritoneal dialysis catheters. HCPCS CODE DESCRIPTION A4300
