Hi Elizabeth. Like Carol said you will need to search the report for some additional information to choose the correct CPT code. 36555- 36566 are the central line placement codes.

2009年6月1日 · The codes for arterial line placement are 36620 or 36625 depending on the technique used. 36620 Arterial catheterization or cannulation for sampling, monitoring or transfusion; percutaneous OR 36625 Arterial catheterization or cannulation for sampling, monitoring or transfusion; cutdown Julie, CPC

2012年5月29日 · The patient's right femoral/groin region was prepped with antiseptic solution and standard sterile draping was applied. Strict aseptic technique was utilized throughout the procedure. After 5 mL of 1% local lidocaine was infused over right femoral vein site, a large bore needle was used to gain access to that right femoral vein and dark ...

2020年5月6日 · I have been coding central lines and they indicate in the note that US was used during placement, however also in the note there is this statement: US image on file: no. Can I still code the ultrasound. it clearly states: US Guidance for line placement. I have been billing 36556 and 76937-26 for the MD doing the central line.

2009年9月1日 · Keep in mind: You should report 36568-36569 (Insertion of peripherally inserted central venous catheter [PICC], without subcutaneous port or pump ...) for externally accessible PICC line insertion, and 36570-36571 for peripherally inserted central venous access devices with subcutaneous ports. Step 3: Differentiate 'Centrally' vs. 'Peripherally'

2010年2月25日 · Placement of a catheter “near” or “at” the origin of a vessel does not document a selective catheter placement. The selective code includes the non-selective code from the same access site. For example, if the right renal is selected, report only 36245, not 36200 and 36140 from a transfemoral approach.

2010年7月22日 · Procedure reads: Placement of left subclavian Cordis catheter with insertion of triple-lumen catheter through the Cordis catheter. The doctor noted it as a "central line placement". Any clue on what the CPT might be? I was thinking 32553 but then I thought not because it's for radiation therapy and the pt did not have that. Help please

2021年3月24日 · I am not sure what tunneled vs non tunneled vs central tunneled is. Does a central line indicate that it is a central tunneled? The information I have to code from is central line placement, right IJ with ultrasound. and the CPT code I currently have is 36573 but I have no clue if this is even close to accurate. Thanks in advance!
