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).
Dialysis catheters are removed both during replacement and also when a patient receiving acute, shortterm therapy no longer - requires dialysis. There is no procedure code for removal of a non- tunneled central venous cathe ter, e.g., removal by pull after th e sutures are removed.
