There is an 87 y.o. pt who was administered sedation for the removal of a Hickman catheter, so the CPT would be 36589, but there is no anesthesia crosswalk code, so I can't bill for this....correct??? Thanks for any help! CPT code 36589 does have a crosswalk to 00400. You must log in or register to reply here.

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.
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. 2 (Encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device) should be assigned.
A Hickman is a central line catheter that is placed on the right side of your chest wall. A Hickman line is a soft, small, long, hollow tube that is placed into a vein in the chest and ends in a larger vein just above your heart.
CPT® Code 36556 in section: Insertion of non-tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter.
Tunneled small-bore catheters, which are often referred to as Hohn, Hickman, or Broviac catheters, are frequently used for infusion of antibiotics or other medications, nutritional supplements, and chemotherapy treatments.
Central lines usually go into your body in the centre of your chest. There are two main types of central line: Hickman central line and portacath. Hickman line: is positioned under your skin, and inserted into a large vein by your collarbone.
A Hickman catheter is used for taking and giving blood, and giving medicines that need a larger vein (such as chemotherapy), and other fluids. Patients who receive stem cell transplants often have a Hickman catheter. A PICC catheter is a small, soft tube inserted in your arm.
In contrast, insertion of an indwelling or non-temporary stent (CPT® code 52332) involves the placement of a specialized self-retaining stent (e.g. J stent) into the ureter to relieve obstruction or treat ureteral injury. This requires a guidewire to position the stent within the kidney.
CPT® Code 49083 in section: Incision Procedures on the Abdomen, Peritoneum, and Omentum.
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.
1942), a nephrologist based in East Lansing, Michigan, in 1973. Robert O. Hickman, after whom the system is named, further modified the principles in 1979 with subcutaneous tunneling and a Dacron cuff that formed an infection barrier.
Groshong catheters are a type of central venous catheter, which are placed under direct fluoroscopic visualization in an angiography suite. They can be tunnelled or non-tunnelled and are similar to a Hickman catheter, with the main difference being that Groshong catheters have a three-way valve at its tip.
Hickman lines are a long thin tube made out of silicone. It has a cuff attached to it which acts like an anchor to hold the line in place on the chest wall and act as a barrier to infection from the outside. They can have 1, 2, or 3 internal channels.

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.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable ( Z18.-)
T82.594 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
The other end of a hickman catheter is tunneled on the chest and exits the tunnel on the chest. (The picture above is of a Hickman Catheter with two end holes/lumens) Hickman catheter is part of a subclass of central venous catheters which are tunneled, since a segment of the catheter is tunneled under the skin before exiting the chest.
Indications for placement of Hickman Catheters (Hickman Line) 1 Hickman’s line is used in cases where the treatment continues over a couple of weeks and this catheter is often used for total parenteral nutrition (TPN). 2 Other uses include plasmapheresis and apheresis, A route for taking blood samples frequently without puncturing the peripheral veins repeatedly, Administration of drugs and fluids during a long-term treatment 3 Hickman’s catheters due to their flexibility provides with a greater freedom of movement and are often considered more comfortable for patients compared to stiffer catheters.
Hickman catheter (Hickman Line) removal. Because of the cuff that is tunneled under the skin by near the exit site these catheter cuff grows into the subcutaneous tissues. Because the cuff adheres to the bodies tissues under the skin tract overlying skin, the hickman catheter removal will require a procedure.
A needle is inserted and used to access the internal jugular vein (although other options for venous access exist). A small wire is passed through the needle into the vein. This wire is then upsized to a stiffer wire over a transitional catheter and then the tract from the jugular vein access at the base of the neck is serially dilated until a sheath is placed

The catheter is then cut to the desired length and inserted into the jugular vein and subsequently into the superior vena cava or the right atrium.
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.
There are three ways to remove clots and thrombus, fibrin sheaths, and other obstructive material from dialysis catheters: (1) declotting by injection, (2) removing external obstruction, or (3) removing internal obstruction.
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.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. These 2022 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals . The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
The procedure code 0JH60XZ is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia body system, classified under the insertion operation. The applicable bodypart is subcutaneous tissue and fascia, chest.
0JH60XZ is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of insertion of tunneled vascular access device into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
