Unspecified diastolic (congestive) heart failure
Yes, dialysis is painful. They are putting two 15/16 gauge needles in a fistula in your arm, or other location, and cleaning your blood for 3–4 hours, 3 times a week, typically. But you’ll be in even more pain if you do not receive dialysis and your body fills up with fluids and toxins. Dialysis pain can be mitigated to some extent (some people use lidocaine or Tylenol), but there will always be some measure of pain.
Peritoneal dialysis involves surgery to implant a peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter into your abdomen. The catheter helps filter your blood through the peritoneum, a membrane in your abdomen. During treatment, a special fluid called dialysate flows into the peritoneum. The dialysate absorbs waste.
AV fistula can be placed in upper arm or forearm, thigh or chest. So, the new CPT code 36901 is the main procedure code, used for taking access in AV fistula.
5A1D00ZHemodialysis, single encounter, is classified to ICD-10-PCS code 5A1D00Z, which is located in the Extracorporeal Assistance and Performance section. Multiple encounters of hemodialysis is classified to code 5A1D60Z.

An AV fistula is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, and is sometimes surgically created to help with haemodialysis treatment. In these cases, a shunt graft is inserted to aid the treatment. Unfortunately, sometimes the shunt will fail, known as graft malfunction.
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.
Since CVVHD is for hemodialysis CPT 90935, if it was for hemofiltration (CVVH) than CPT 90945.
CPT code 90935 is used to report inpatient dialysis and includes one E/M evaluation provided to that patient on the day of dialysis. Inpatient dialysis requiring repeated evaluations on the same day is reported with code 90937.

Encounter for fitting and adjustment of extracorporeal dialysis catheter. Z49. 01 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z49.
An AV fistula is a surgically placed "shunt"; that is, an artery is directly sutured to a vein. An artery is a high-pressure vessel that carries blood away from the heart and delivers nutrients and oxygen to the tissues.
AV fistulas are the preferred vascular access for long-term dialysis because they last longer than any other dialysis access types, are less prone to infection and clotting, and can be relied upon for predictable performance.
Anastomosis: In an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), the point where a vein and an artery are connected. In an arteriovenous graft (AVG), the locations where the graft is connected to the patient's vein and artery.

Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type.
Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination.

A procedure performed “in/through” the dialysis circuit is any procedure (e.g., angioplasty, stent, etc.) performed by placing a needle (s) or catheter (s) into a structure that is part of the dialysis circuit.
Central segment: The part of the dialysis circuit that begins with the central veins (the subclavian and the innominate veins) and continues through the superior vena cava to the right atrium of the heart for a dialysis circuit in the arm.
The dialysis circuit begins with the arterial anastomosis and ends where the superior or inferior vena cava are connected to the right atrium of the heart. Peripheral segment: The part of the dialysis circuit that begins with the arterial anastomosis and continues through the entire axillary vein or cephalic vein for a dialysis circuit in the arm ...
