2021 BILLING AND CODING GUIDELINES . HEMODIALYSIS CATHETERS. Overview of Central Venous Access Catheters for HEMODIALYSIS Medtronic produces a variety of catheters used to perform HEMODIALYSIS in patients with renal failure. These catheters are Central Venous Access Catheters, intended to be inserted via a central vein typically, the jugular, subclavian, brachiocephalic, or femoral veins. Once inserted, the internal tip of the catheter is advanced into the superior or inferior vena cava or into the right atrium of the heart. To be used for HEMODIALYSIS , the catheters have two lumens with two caps that hang outside the body. All Medtronic dialysis catheters are centrally inserted. CPT *1 also provides codes for peripherally inserted catheters (PICC).
Removing obstruction from around the outside of catheter (e.g., stripping a fibrin sheath off a catheter with a snare): Three codes are needed to describe the procedure: (1) 36595 to remove obstruction; (2) 75901 for associated imaging; and (3) 36010 -36012, depending on the vein, for placing the snare. 36595
