What 36582 covers
This service replaces the complete tunneled central venous access system, including its implanted subcutaneous port or pump, using the same venous access route. It is typically performed by an interventional radiologist or surgeon in a hospital or ambulatory procedure setting when the existing system needs replacement rather than repair. The code describes replacement of the device, not placement of a new device through a different access route.
Choose this code when the documentation supports a tunneled, centrally inserted system with a port or pump and complete replacement through the same access. Record the device type, reason for replacement, access route, and work performed; a repair of a damaged component is a different service. Related postoperative visits are included in the 10-day global period. 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Where the Arizona rate applies
Arizona is a Medicare payment area, not a city. Our Census mapping connects it to 467 cities and communities in Arizona. Some span more than one payment area; confirm with the service ZIP.
36582 billing questions
How does this differ from 36581?
Use 36582 for complete replacement of a tunneled central access system with a subcutaneous port or pump. Code 36581 describes a tunneled central venous catheter without a port or pump.
Can a repair be reported as a replacement?
No. Repairing a catheter or device component is distinct from replacing the complete system; consider 36575 or 36576 when the service is a repair.
Is removal of the old system separately reported?
This code represents complete replacement through the same venous access. Do not separately report removal merely for removing the old system as part of that replacement.
Does the code have a postoperative global period?
Yes. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included.
Can modifier 50 or an assistant-at-surgery service be reported?
Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; 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.
