What 36903 covers
An interventional radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other qualified physician accesses a hemodialysis fistula or graft with needles or catheters, performs diagnostic angiography, and places a stent to treat a lesion in the peripheral dialysis segment. Typical cases involve a stenosis compromising access flow or dialysis function. The service may take place in an outpatient angiography suite or hospital procedure room. Angioplasty performed in the same peripheral segment is included in this code.
Report 36903 when the documented intervention includes peripheral-segment stent placement; angiography and the stent location should be clear in the procedure report. The code includes the imaging and its interpretation for the circuit evaluation and intervention, so those elements are not separately reported for the same service. It has a 0-day global period, with same-day preoperative and postoperative care included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

36903 billing questions
When should 36903 be chosen instead of 36902?
Choose 36903 when a stent is placed in the peripheral dialysis segment. Code 36902 describes peripheral-segment angioplasty without stent placement.
Can angioplasty in the stented peripheral segment be reported separately?
No. Angioplasty performed in the same peripheral segment as the stent is included in 36903.
Is the diagnostic angiography separately billable with 36903?
The circuit angiography and its imaging and interpretation are included in 36903 for the service being reported.
Can 36907 or 36908 be reported with 36903?
They may be reported as add-on codes when a separate intervention is performed in the central dialysis segment: angioplasty for 36907 or stent placement for 36908.
Should modifier 50 be appended for treatment of both sides?
No. The descriptor or anatomy makes modifier 50 inappropriate for 36903.
What documentation supports 36903?
Document the access circuit evaluated, angiographic findings, the peripheral-segment site treated, and the stent placement. Record any angioplasty performed in that same segment as part of the service.
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.
