What 36576 covers

This service repairs an existing central venous access device that includes a subcutaneous port or pump. A surgeon or interventional radiologist may perform the repair when a device used for ongoing infusion therapy has a damaged component or connection. The distinction is that the implanted port or pump remains part of the device being repaired, rather than the entire device being replaced.

The procedure record should identify the port or pump, the defect found, and what was repaired. Select 36575 instead when the repaired central venous catheter has no implanted port or pump; use the appropriate replacement code when a catheter component or the complete device is replaced. Medicare assigns this repair a 10-day global period, which includes related postoperative visits. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant surgeon is paid only when medical necessity is documented; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.

36576 billing questions

How is 36576 different from 36575?

36576 is for repair of a central venous access device with an implanted port or pump. Use 36575 for repair of a catheter without either implanted component.

What if the catheter component is replaced instead of repaired?

A catheter-component replacement with the implanted port or pump retained is reported with the applicable replacement code, such as 36578, rather than 36576.

Are related visits after the repair separately reported?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure payment.

Can modifier 50 be used if more than one device is repaired?

No. Medicare's bilateral adjustment is inappropriate for 36576; modifier 50 should not be used.

What documentation supports an assistant surgeon?

The record must establish medical necessity for the assistant surgeon. Medicare does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this procedure.

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.
