Insertion of Infusion Device into Superior Vena Cava, Percutaneous Approach. ICD-10-PCS 02HV33Z is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
The device has a small reservoir, but it does not function as a reservoir to store medicine during the course of therapy. Assign the ICD-10-PCS code as follows: 0JH63XZ Insertion of vascular access device into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach.
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.
In ICD-10-PCS, a percutaneous approach is defined as entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure. Totally Implantable Central Venous Access Device (Port-a-Cath)- Q2 2015
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.

A central venous catheter (CVC) is an indwelling device that is peripherally inserted into a large, central vein (most commonly the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral), and advanced until the terminal lumen resides within the inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, or right atrium.
CPT® 36556, Under Insertion of Central Venous Access Device The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 36556 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Insertion of Central Venous Access Device.
twoThe vena cava has two parts: the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest. The inferior vena cava carries blood from the legs, feet, and organs in the abdomen and pelvis. The vena cava is the largest vein in the body.
A central line (or central venous catheter) is like an intravenous (IV) line. But it is much longer than a regular IV and goes all the way up to a vein near the heart or just inside the heart. A patient can get medicine, fluids, blood, or nutrition through a central line. It also can be used to draw blood.
A peripheral IV line (PIV, or just “IV”) is a short catheter that's typically placed in the forearm. It starts and ends in the arm itself. A PICC line is a longer catheter that's also placed in the upper arm. Its tip ends in the largest vein of the body, which is why it's considered a central line.
External jugular vein (EJV) may be used as a central line, although it is preferred as a peripheral line since the vein is close to the surface of the skin. While using the external jugular vein for central venous access is associated with minimal complications, it has a relatively high failure rate.
CPT® Code 36556 in section: Insertion of non-tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter.
Arterial Catheter (CPT code 36620) - Placement of a small catheter, usually in the radial artery, and connection of the catheter to electronic equipment allow for continuous monitoring of a patient's blood pressure or when other means of measuring blood pressure are unreliable or unattainable.
In all reporting of ultrasound services in the hospital setting, the physician's professional service is identified by appending the -26 modifier to the appropriate CPT code, i.e., 36556, 76937-26.
Background. Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare vascular anomaly that begins at the junction of the left subclavian and internal jugular veins, passes through the left side of the mediastinum adjacent to the arcus aorta. It mostly drains into the right atrium via the coronary sinus (CS).
Duplication of the superior vena cava is a rare anomaly with an incidence in the general population of 0.3%. The majority of cases are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally by imaging done for another reason.
Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a group of problems caused when blood flow through the superior vena cava (SVC) is slowed down. The SVC is a large vein that drains blood away from the head, neck, arms, and upper chest and into the heart. SVCS is most often seen in people who have cancer.
Double SVC is a rare anatomical variant that results from a persistent left superior vena cava, which is due to the embryological failure of regression of the anterior cardinal vein.
