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.
The code depends on the type of imaging used. If both ultrasound guidance and fluoroscopic guidance are performed, both 76937 and 77001 can be assigned together with the dialysis catheter code.
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.
Physicians Who Furnish Part of a Global Surgical Package#N#Where physicians agree on the transfer of care during the global period, the following modifiers are used:#N#• “-54” for surgical care only; or#N#• “-55” for postoperative management only .#N#Both the bill for the surgical care only and the bill for the postoperative care only, will contain the same date of service and the same surgical procedure code, with the services distinguished by the use of the appropriate modifier.#N#Providers need not specify on the claim that care has been transferred. However, the date on which care was relinquished or assumed, as applicable, must be shown on the claim.#N#This should be indicated in the remarks field/free text segment on the claim form/format. Both the surgeon and the physician providing the postoperative care must keep a copy of the written transfer agreement in the beneficiary’s medical record.#N#Where a transfer of postoperative care occurs, the receiving physician cannot bill for any part of the global services until he/she has provided at least one service. Once the physician has seen the patient, that physician may bill for the period beginning with the date on which he/she assumes care of the patient.
The surgical global applies to the surgery. If a different physician outside the practice bills for post op care without using the 55 modifier it will not be paid. You must use the V codes for post op as the diagnosis as well. This is what the 55 modifier is created for and is covered in the Medicare manual.
The provider can but the office nurse in a different office cannot. A different provider can provide post operative services, however the surgeon must transfer care to that provider and it is billed using the surgical code with the 55 modifier. The surgical global applies to the surgery.
You could bill an E/M for the dressing change unless it is during the global period of a surgical procedure - then it would not be billable. The Biopatch could be billed with HCPCS code A6209, but it would depend on the carrier if it would be reimbursed. R.

This LCD supplements but does not replace, modify or supersede existing Medicare applicable National Coverage Determinations (NCDs) or payment policy rules and regulations for additional hemodialysis sessions. Federal statute and subsequent Medicare regulations regarding provision and payment for medical services are lengthy.
Notice: It is not appropriate to bill Medicare for services that are not covered (as described by this entire LCD) as if they are covered. When billing for non-covered services, use the appropriate modifier.
