It is attached to a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) that is threaded into a large vein above the right side of the heart called the superior vena cava. A port-a-cath is used to give intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, chemotherapy, and other drugs. It is also used for taking blood samples.

Z45.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes.
Diagnosis was present at time of inpatient admission. Yes. N. Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. No. U. Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. No. W.
the catheter is initially being inserted for treatment of the cancer if the patient had a problem later on with the catheter and it needed to be replaced or when chemo is done and the catheter needs to be removed you would use the Z code because at time the treatment is being directed at the catheter not the cancer. Thanks for any advice.
As is often said, a coder should choose the code that best represents the services documented. But there may be different ways to represent documentation in codes, and different people will have different opinions about what is 'best' - those kinds of differences are inevitable.

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.
These guidelines, developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS) and the National Center for Health Statistics ( NCHS) are a set of rules developed to assist medical coders in assigning the appropriate codes. The guidelines are based on the coding and sequencing instructions from the Tabular List and the Alphabetic Index in ICD-10-CM.
When a pregnant woman has a malignant neoplasm, a code from subcategory O9A.1 -, malignant neoplasm complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate code from Chapter 2 to indicate the type of neoplasm. Encounter for complication associated with a neoplasm.
When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy at that site, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy. Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion '), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
The neoplasm table in the Alphabetic Index should be referenced first. However, if the histological term is documented, that term should be referenced first, rather than going immediately to the Neoplasm Table, in order to determine which column in the Neoplasm Table is appropriate. Alphabetic Index to review the entries under this term and the instructional note to “see also neoplasm, by site, benign.” The table provides the proper code based on the type of neoplasm and the site. It is important to select the proper column in the table that corresponds to the type of neoplasm. The Tabular List should then be referenced to verify that the correct code has been selected from the table and that a more specific site code does not exist.
Chapter 2 of the ICD-10-CM contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms , such as prostatic adenomas, may be found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.
When the reason for admission/encounter is to determine the extent of the malignancy, or for a procedure such as paracentesis or thoracentesis, the primary malignancy or appropriate metastatic site is designated as the principal or first-listed diagnosis, even though chemotherapy or radiotherapy is administered.
