What 36015 covers
This service involves advancing a catheter beyond the left or right pulmonary artery into a segmental or smaller pulmonary arterial branch. Cardiologists and interventional radiologists may perform it during pulmonary angiography or catheter-directed treatment, including procedures addressing pulmonary emboli. The code represents the catheter placement into the distal branch, rather than the imaging interpretation or the therapeutic work performed through the catheter.
Report the code when the record identifies selective catheter placement in a segmental or subsegmental pulmonary artery; document the side and branch reached. Distinguish this distal placement from catheter positioning in the main pulmonary artery or a left or right pulmonary artery. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays this procedure at 150%.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

36015 billing questions
How does 36015 differ from 36014?
36015 describes catheter placement in a segmental or subsegmental pulmonary artery branch. 36014 is for selective placement in a left or right pulmonary artery.
How does 36015 differ from 36013?
36013 describes catheter placement in the right heart or main pulmonary artery. Use 36015 when the catheter is advanced selectively into a segmental or smaller pulmonary arterial branch.
What documentation supports 36015?
Document the pulmonary arterial branch reached and the side, along with the catheter placement performed. The record should support distal selective placement rather than positioning only in a larger pulmonary artery.
Can 36015 be reported with pulmonary angiography?
Yes. Catheter placement and pulmonary angiographic imaging are distinct services when both are performed and documented; 75741 and 75743 describe unilateral and bilateral pulmonary angiographic imaging, respectively.
How is bilateral 36015 reported?
Report bilateral performance with modifier 50. CMS pays bilateral 36015 at 150%.
What happens when 36015 is performed with other procedures in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.
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.
