What 36902 covers

An interventional radiologist or vascular surgeon uses needle or catheter access to evaluate a hemodialysis fistula or graft and perform balloon angioplasty for a stenosis in its peripheral dialysis segment. These procedures commonly address access dysfunction, such as impaired flow or elevated circuit pressures, and are performed in an angiography suite or hospital outpatient setting. The code includes the diagnostic imaging and catheter placement needed to evaluate the circuit during the intervention.

Report this code when balloon angioplasty is performed in the peripheral segment; the documented lesion location and treatment should support that selection. Diagnostic angiography of the same circuit is included rather than separately reported as a diagnostic-only service. Medicare assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When separate procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Medicare does not pay assistant-at-surgery services, co-surgeons, or team surgery 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.

36902 billing questions

How does this differ from 36901?

Use 36901 for diagnostic evaluation of the dialysis circuit without the peripheral balloon angioplasty reported by 36902. The imaging needed for the angioplasty is included in 36902.

When is 36903 a better choice?

Use 36903 when a stent is placed in the peripheral dialysis segment. Code 36902 reports balloon angioplasty without that peripheral stent placement.

Can diagnostic angiography of the same circuit be billed separately?

The diagnostic imaging performed to evaluate the circuit during this intervention is included. Do not separately report 36901 for that same circuit service.

Can central-segment angioplasty be reported in the same session?

Yes. When angioplasty is also performed in the central dialysis segment, 36907 is the related add-on code; document the treated segment and intervention.

What documentation supports 36902?

Record the access circuit findings, the peripheral-segment stenosis treated, and the balloon angioplasty performed. The documentation should distinguish treatment in the peripheral segment from any central-segment intervention.

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.
