What 36002 covers
A physician treats a pseudoaneurysm by placing a needle into the sac and injecting a substance such as thrombin to promote closure while preserving flow in the parent vessel. A common situation is a femoral artery pseudoaneurysm after catheterization. Interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons commonly perform the procedure, often in a hospital or office setting with imaging used to guide needle placement and assess the result.
Report 36002 for the injection treatment, not for diagnostic imaging alone or routine needle placement into a vein. The record should identify the pseudoaneurysm site, the injection performed, and the clinical and imaging findings supporting treatment. This is a 0-day global procedure, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

36002 billing questions
When should 36002 be chosen instead of a vascular imaging code?
Use 36002 when the physician injects the pseudoaneurysm as treatment. An ultrasound or duplex examination that evaluates the lesion without therapeutic injection is an imaging service, not 36002.
Can ultrasound guidance be reported separately?
Code 76942 may be relevant when ultrasound guidance for needle placement is performed and separately reportable. Document the guidance and imaging supervision and interpretation rather than assuming it is supported by the injection documentation alone.
Does the code cover same-day care after the injection?
Yes. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care associated with the procedure.
How are two procedures paid when performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction, with payment at 50%.
How is bilateral pseudoaneurysm treatment reported?
For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. The documentation should identify treatment on both sides.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted for 36002. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
