What 36580 covers

This service replaces a non-tunneled, centrally inserted venous catheter through the existing venous access, rather than establishing access at a new site. It is commonly performed in a hospital by an interventional radiologist, surgeon, or other qualified proceduralist when a short-term central line needs complete replacement, such as because it is malfunctioning or damaged. The replacement catheter remains a central venous device; this code is not for a tunneled catheter, a PICC, or a device with an implanted port or pump.

Report the service when documentation identifies the existing line as non-tunneled, supports complete catheter replacement, and shows that the same venous access was used. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Medicare does not pay for an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.

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.

36580 billing questions

How does 36580 differ from 36581?

36580 is for complete replacement of a non-tunneled central venous catheter through the same access. 36581 is the related replacement code for a tunneled catheter.

Can 36580 be used when the new catheter is placed at a different site?

No. The code describes replacement through the same venous access; documentation should establish that the existing access was used.

Is a repair reported as a replacement?

No. 36580 represents complete catheter replacement, not repair of an existing catheter. The record should support replacement of the catheter rather than correction of a limited defect.

What documentation supports 36580?

Document that the catheter was non-tunneled and centrally inserted, that the replacement was complete, and that the same venous access was used. Include the clinical reason the line required replacement.

What global-period and modifier rules affect this code?

The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; Medicare also does not pay an assistant at surgery, and 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.
