What 36596 covers
This service uses a percutaneous mechanical technique to clear thrombus obstructing the lumen of a central venous access device. It may be performed when a tunneled central venous catheter, such as one used for dialysis or infusion therapy, is occluded by clot. The procedure can include fluoroscopic guidance when performed. It addresses the obstruction; it is distinct from removing or replacing the catheter itself.
Report 36596 when documentation supports a thrombotic intraluminal obstruction and mechanical removal. A record of the affected device, the obstructing clot, and the technique used supports code selection over treatment with a thrombolytic agent alone or removal of a nonthrombotic obstruction. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and 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.

36596 billing questions
How does 36596 differ from 36595?
36596 is for mechanical removal of a thrombotic obstruction. 36595 is for mechanical removal of a nonthrombotic obstruction.
Is 36596 appropriate when a thrombolytic agent clears the catheter?
No. 36596 describes mechanical removal of thrombus; declotting by thrombolytic agent is represented by 36593.
Can catheter removal or replacement be reported instead?
Use a removal or replacement code when the catheter is taken out or exchanged. 36596 represents mechanical clearance of an obstruction, not removal or replacement of the device.
Is fluoroscopic guidance separately reported?
Fluoroscopic guidance is included in 36596 when performed; do not report it separately as guidance for this service.
Can modifier 50 or an assistant-at-surgery claim be used?
Modifier 50 is inappropriate for 36596. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service.
What documentation supports 36596?
Document the central venous access device, the thrombotic intraluminal obstruction, and the mechanical technique used to clear it.
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.
