There is a new code for the removal of a pleurx catheter and its 32552. If the charge is prior to January, there isn't a code for the removal of a pleurx. I used to bill an E/M instead. Can you use fluoro or US guidance with the 32552 removal of pleurx catheter? You must log in or register to reply here.
Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 02PY33Z Removal of infusion device from great vessel, percutaneous approach, for removal of the infusion portion of the catheter 0JPT0XZ Removal of vascular access device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach, for removal of the port
CPT 36558 is insertion of a tunneled central venous catheter (i.e. perm cath for dialysis). The removal of the device is included with the placement and no charges should be billed. Same for removing a feeding tube. In the case of a tunneled catheter, the removal is NOT included. There is a separate code as the original poster noted.

tunneled catheter removal#N#CPT 36558 is insertion of a tunneled central venous catheter (i.e. perm cath for dialysis). The removal of the device is included with the placement and no charges should be billed. Same for removing a feeding tube.
In the case of a tunneled catheter, the removal is NOT included. There is a separate code as the original poster noted. Removal of a non-tunneled catheter is not separately billed, but removal of a tunneled cath requires more work and so was valued separately.
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.
There are three ways to remove clots and thrombus, fibrin sheaths, and other obstructive material from dialysis catheters: (1) declotting by injection, (2) removing external obstruction, or (3) removing internal obstruction.
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). These codes are not addressed within the guide.
For procedures performed in the office where the physician incurs the cost of the catheter, the physician can bill the HCPCS A-code for the catheter in addition to the CPT™* code for the procedure of placing it. However, many payers include payment for the device in the payment for the CPT™* procedure code and do not pay separately for the catheter.
However, some patients who are already hospitalized may need a dialysis catheter. When insertion is performed as an inpatient the ICD-10-PCS code set is used to report the procedure provide in this care setting. The ICD-10-PCS procedure code depends on several factors, including non-tunneled (acute, short term use) or tunneled (chronic, long-term use), and the anatomic site where the internal tip of the dialysis catheter rests.
