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.

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.

36584 billing questions

How does 36584 differ from 36585?

36584 is for complete PICC replacement with imaging guidance. 36585 is the corresponding replacement service without imaging guidance.

Can imaging guidance or interpretation be billed separately?

Imaging guidance, image documentation, and associated radiological supervision and interpretation are included when performed as part of 36584.

Can modifier 50 be used for replacement of two PICCs?

No. Bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

Is an assistant at surgery payable for 36584?

No. Medicare's statutory restriction prevents payment for an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are also not permitted.

What documentation supports reporting 36584?

Document complete replacement of the PICC and the imaging guidance performed. The record should distinguish replacement from a repair, repositioning, or new PICC insertion.

What does the 0-day global period include?

Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in 36584.

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.
