Chapter 21 of ICD-10-CM (Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services) contains codes for insertion and routine removal of CVCs. For a hemodialysis catheter, the appropriate code is Z49. 01 (Encounter for fitting and adjustment of extracorporeal dialysis catheter). For any other CVC, code Z45.

Removal of port: The correct code for the removal of a catheter with a port or pump is CPT code 36590 (Removal of tunneled central venous access device, with subcutaneous port or pump, central or peripheral insertion).
Vascular access devices, or PICCs and ports, allow repeated and long-term access to the bloodstream for frequent or regular administration of drugs, like intravenous (IV) antibiotics.
The surgeon will inject numbing medication in the area of the incision over the port. Then a small incision will be made over the port. The port is freed from any tissue and the entire device is removed at once. The skin will be sutured closed and covered with steri-strips and a gauze dressing or surgical glue.
11 or Z51. 12 is the only diagnosis on the line, then the procedure or service will be denied because this diagnosis should be assigned as a secondary diagnosis. When the Primary, First-Listed, Principal or Only diagnosis code is a Sequela diagnosis code, then the claim line will be denied.
The patient's primary diagnostic code is the most important. Assuming the patient's primary diagnostic code is Z76. 89, look in the list below to see which MDC's "Assignment of Diagnosis Codes" is first.
Codes from category Z15 should not be used as principal or first-listed codes.
Arterial Line - (also known as: a-line or art-line) a thin catheter inserted into an artery; most commonly radial, ulnar, brachial, or dorsalis pedis artery. Most frequent care settings are intensive care unit or anesthesia when frequent blood draws or blood pressure monitoring are needed.
Types of Lines: Central Lines - (CVC)- Central Venous Catheter or central lines are inserted into large veins, typically the jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein. Common uses are for medication and fluid administration.
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.
Infection is considered the most serious complication as it is accompanied by a mortality rate of 12-25%. Diagnosis code: 999.31 Other and unspecified infection due to central venous catheter, or 999.32 Bloodstream infection due to central venous catheter. Replacement of Device.
Using ultrasound guidance, the vein is punctured with a needle (usually the jugular vein at the base of the neck), and a small guide wire is advanced into the large central vein, called the superior vena cava, under x-ray guidance (fluoroscopy). A second small skin incision may be made below the first, and a tunnel under the skin is then created. ...
NON-TUNNELED CENTRAL CATHETER: These catheters are placed via a relatively larger vein such as the jugular vein in the neck or femoral vein in the groin. TUNNELED CATHETER: For a tunneled catheter, the physician will make one small incision in the skin commonly in the lower neck.
A portable infusion pump (PP) is a device intended to provide ambulatory continuous drug infusion therapy over an extended time period. It is also known as an external pump, ambulatory pump, or a mini-infuser; and can be worn on a belt around the Infusion Pumps: patient's waist or from a shoulder harness.
Most of the tunneled insertion codes have a ten day global period. So you will append modifier 78 for the removal, if the patient was returned to the OR during the ten day global period. If the return to the OR was outside the ten day global period, then you do not need modifier 78.
It would not be appropriate to report both the procedure code and the sedation codes 99143-99145, for the same physician.
The first is a thin, soft, plastic tube called a catheter that is typically inserted (tunneled) under the skin of the chest and courses over the collarbone into a large neck vein. The catheter tubing connects to the second component called a reservoir that is implanted under the skin of the upper chest.
The basilica vein is punctured, catheter is measured and cut to proper length and then placed . A subcutaneous pocket is then created and the catheter is attached to the port. The port is secured in the pocket and the pocket is sutured.
Non-tunneled, non-port/pump catheters generally do not require moderate sedation so that wasn't valued into the code. If you code moderate sedation separately for a peripherally inserted central ...
