PICC stands for "peripherally inserted central catheter." This intravenous catheter is inserted through the skin, into a vein in the arm, in the region above the elbow and below the shoulder. This is a peripheral insertion.
During Your Procedure Your PICC will be put in by a doctor or nurse. First, you'll get a numbing injection (shot) where your PICC will be placed. You will not need general anesthesia (medication to make you sleep). Once the area is numb, the doctor or nurse will make a small incision (surgical cut) in your upper arm.
Although PICC lines and ports have the same purpose, there are a few differences between them: PICC lines can stay in for several weeks or months. Ports can stay in as long as you need treatment, up to several years. PICC lines require daily special cleaning and flushing.
Question: When coding the placement of an infusion device such as a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line), the code assignment for the body part is based on the site in which the device ended up (end placement). For coding purposes, can imaging reports be used to determine the end placement of the device?
Question: ...venous access port. An incision was made in the anterior chest wall and a subcutaneous pocket was created. The catheter was advanced into the vein, tunneled under the skin and attached to the port, which was anchored in the subcutaneous pocket. The incision was closed in layers.
Question: In Coding Clinic, Fourth Quarter 2013, pages 116- 117, information was published about the device character for the insertion of a totally implantable central venous access device (port-a-cath). Although we agree with the device value, the approach value is inaccurate.
Question: A patient diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer underwent placement of an intraperitoneal port-a-catheter during total abdominal hysterectomy.
