What 36575 covers
This service addresses damage to an existing tunneled central venous catheter, such as a leak or break in an accessible catheter segment, when repair can restore function without replacing the device. It is commonly performed by a physician or other qualified practitioner in a hospital or outpatient setting, including interventional radiology, surgery, or vascular-access services. The catheter remains in place; this is not a new tunneled catheter insertion or a removal service.
Report 36575 for a tunneled catheter without a subcutaneous port or pump. Documentation should identify the catheter, the defect, the repair performed, and why repair rather than replacement was appropriate. The procedure has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

36575 billing questions
How is 36575 different from 36576?
36575 is for repair of a tunneled catheter without a subcutaneous port or pump. Use the paired repair code 36576 for the device configuration specified by that code.
When should repair be reported instead of replacement?
Report repair when the existing tunneled catheter is restored. If the catheter is replaced, consider the applicable replacement code, such as 36578 or 36581, based on the device and procedure.
What documentation supports 36575?
Record the catheter type and location, the damage found, the repair performed, and the clinical basis for retaining the existing catheter rather than replacing it.
Can an assistant-at-surgery be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is available only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
How does the multiple-procedure rule affect payment?
For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction.
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.
