Apheresis

About 36514: Therapeutic plasma exchange

Report therapeutic plasma exchange when a patient’s plasma is removed during an apheresis session to treat a condition such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

This service processes a patient’s blood through an apheresis system to separate and remove plasma while returning blood cells to the patient; replacement fluid is used as clinically indicated. It is commonly performed in a hospital or other facility by an apheresis team under physician direction. Typical clinical situations include plasma exchange for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, myasthenia gravis, or Guillain-Barré syndrome when removal of plasma is part of the treatment plan.

Select this code when the treatment removes plasma, rather than targeting red cells, white cells, or platelets. Document the clinical indication, the plasma-directed treatment performed, and the service date. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is unavailable, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.

36514 billing questions

When should this code be chosen over 36516?

Use this code for therapeutic removal of plasma. Code 36516 describes selective adsorption treatment, which targets selected substances rather than removing plasma broadly.

How does this differ from the other therapeutic apheresis codes?

Choose the code according to the blood component being treated: this service targets plasma, while 36511, 36512, and 36513 target white cells, red cells, and platelets, respectively.

Can modifier 50 be reported?

No. Plasma exchange is not reported as a bilateral service, so modifier 50 is inappropriate.

What documentation supports reporting this service?

Record the indication for treatment and document that the apheresis session removed plasma. The record should make clear that plasma, rather than another blood component, was targeted.

How is this code affected when other procedures occur in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in this code’s 0-day global period.

Can an assistant, co-surgeon, or surgical team be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is unavailable for this service. Co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
