What 36584 covers
This service replaces an existing peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in its entirety. A physician or other qualified practitioner may perform the exchange in a hospital, procedure room, or other setting where imaging guidance is available. It is used when an existing PICC requires replacement, rather than a limited repair or repositioning. Imaging guidance, image documentation, and associated radiological supervision and interpretation are included when performed.
Report 36584 for complete PICC replacement with imaging guidance; the record should support that the existing PICC was replaced and document the imaging performed. Do not separately report the imaging guidance or its associated interpretation included in the service. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
