Catheter is a thin sterile tube inserted inside the bladder for the drainage of urine. This procedure is performed either by passing a long tube catheter through the urethra or by making an incision. Urethra is pushed upward gently to reach gallbladder. The catheter is temporary and can be removed later on.
Catheter is also placed for the purpose of dialysis. In this procedure, the site involved is superior vena cava. The internal jugular vein (on right side in the neck) is punctured and the catheter is placed downwards. The CPT code for this procedure is 36556.
Peritoneal dialysis catheter is used in the case of kidney failure. The procedure involves placement of
a catheter in the belly to filter the blood. This catheter is temporary and can be removed when the dialysis is complete. The CPT code for removal of peritoneal dialysis catheter is 49422.
Tunneled hemodialysis catheter is placed inside the body making an incision on the skin surface. The path of the tube is hidden under the skin for secure connection to the main vein. This tube is temporary and can be removed under the CPT code 36589- 90.
Subclavian vein is one of the main veins of the central nervous system. The catheter placement in this vein is associated with less thrombosis rate and less infection. The procedure involves an incision on the skin. The CPT code is 36555- 69.
The dialysis catheter is placed temporarily, for the removal of waste from the body. The procedure involves insertion of catheter through incision on the skin surface. The pathway of superior vena cava is recommended for dialysis. The CPT code for this procedure is 36620.
Urinary catheter is placed inside the gallbladder for the removal of urine from the body. The urine is filtered for the waste and catheter provides a way out from the body. The procedure of urinary catheter placement is performed under the CPT code 51702.
Straight catheters are inserted for discharge of urine from the body. These are soft, thin long tube tubes which are inserted temporarily for intermittent urine discharge and then removed from the body. The composition of these tubes is PVC. The procedure is performed under CPT code 51701.
Cystoscopy is the procedure of getting inside imaging of urethra and gallbladder. While a supra-pubic catheter is placed inside the bladder by making an incision on the skin surface. These two procedures can be performed collectively under the CPT code 51010.
Triple lumen catheter is a three way catheter which mainly used to monitor pulmonary artery pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac output and pulmonary wedge pressure. The available triple lumen catheter is 5- to 8- French. The placement is either through femoral, jugular or subclavian vein. The CPT code is 36010- 11.
The tunneled catheter is placed under the skin. That's why it is called tunneled because no one can see this. The procedure involves an incision on the skin through which the catheter is inserted inside the body. The CPT code associated with this procedure is 36555- 36569.
Peritoneal drainage catheter is placed in case of kidney failure. The procedure involves an incision on the skin and catheter is inserted inside the skin for hidden passage. The blood is purified from wastes through this catheter before dialysis. CPT code is 49418.
CPT Code For Dialysis Catheter Placement
