One challenging coding area with the ICD-10 transition is the coding of venous and arterial lines and catheters. This article aims to provide greater clarity with regard to procedure coding tips for coding of venous catheters.
The subclavian vein was entered on the first pass and the guidewire anterior chest wall down to the pectoralis fascia. The catheter was then passed through the introducer over the guidewire and was then tunneled to the pocket.
Direction of the J-tip of the guidewire, in seldinger technique, is a significant factor in misplacement of subclavian vein catheter: a randomized, controlled study. Anesth Analg 2005; 100:21.
For a hemodialysis catheter, the appropriate code is Z49. 01 (Encounter for fitting and adjustment of extracorporeal dialysis catheter). For any other CVC, code Z45. 2 (Encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device) should be assigned.
ACCESS SITE Centrally inserted central venous catheters are primarily placed via the internal jugular vein, subclavian vein, or femoral vein. Alternative insertion sites include the external jugular vein, cephalic vein, and proximal great saphenous vein.
The subclavian veins are an often favored site for central venous access, including tunneled catheters and subcutaneous ports for chemotherapy, prolonged antimicrobial therapy, and parenteral nutrition.
Otherwise I think it would just be 36556. The CPT code for infusaport is 36561 (over 5).
The infraclavicular approach is most common, and one of two skin insertion sites is used: either 1 to 2 cm inferior to the clavicle at the junction of its medial and middle thirds, or just inferior to the clavicle at its midpoint.

A CVC is identical to a PICC line, except it's placed in the chest or neck. CVC stands for “central venous catheter.” A port is a catheter that's implanted surgically under the skin on the chest. It's another type of central line.
The most commonly used catheter for central venous access is the triple lumen catheter. They are preferred (particularly in the ICU) for their three infusion channels that allow for multiple therapies to be administered simultaneously.
The subclavian vein is a paired large vein, one on either side of the body, and runs under the clavicle and anterior to the artery of the same name. The diameter is approximately to that of the little finger.
Code 36901 and the other primary dialysis circuit intervention codes (36902–36906) include all the necessary catheter placement(s) and manipulation(s) to perform a graft/fistula diagnostic radiological study; however, 36215 is not inherent to the work of these codes.

Answer:#N#The internal jugular tunneled catheter consists of two-parts, an infusion port and catheter. Code the insertion, as well as the removal of both the infusion device and the vascular access device. Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 1 02PY33Z Removal of infusion device from great vessel, percutaneous approach, for removal of the infusion portion of the catheter 2 0JPT0XZ Removal of vascular access device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach, for removal of the port 3 02H633Z Insertion of infusion device into right atrium, percutaneous approach, for insertion of catheter
Physician documentation is needed for the intended use of the line and the anatomical site that the catheter ends up.
Types of Lines: Central Lines - (CVC)- Central Venous Catheter or central lines are inserted into large veins, typically the jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein. Common uses are for medication and fluid administration.
Arterial Line - (also known as: a-line or art-line) a thin catheter inserted into an artery; most commonly radial, ulnar, brachial, or dorsalis pedis artery. Most frequent care settings are intensive care unit or anesthesia when frequent blood draws or blood pressure monitoring are needed.
The clavicle is the primary surface landmark for subclavian cannulation ( picture 1 ). Moving laterally from the suprasternal notch, the bulky sternal head takes an elongated S-shape (a double curve in the horizontal plane); the medial two-thirds are convex anteriorly, and the lateral third is concave anteriorly. The anterior convexity at the junction of the medial and middle thirds is known as the "bend" or "break" in the clavicle and serves as an important palpable landmark. (See 'Subclavian vein cannulation' below.)
