36902 represents peripheral-segment angioplasty as part of the primary dialysis-circuit service. Use 36907 for angioplasty in the central segment; both may be reported when both segments are treated.

About 36907: Central dialysis segment balloon angioplasty
Reports balloon dilation of a central vein in a dialysis access circuit, such as treatment of central venous narrowing during an access intervention.
This add-on describes balloon dilation of a narrowed central portion of a hemodialysis access circuit. It is commonly performed by an interventional radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other qualified physician during fistulography or a related access intervention. A typical clinical situation is central venous narrowing associated with arm swelling, difficult dialysis access, or elevated venous pressures. Imaging used to guide and assess the angioplasty is part of the intervention.
Report 36907 with an eligible primary dialysis-circuit procedure, such as 36901–36906; it is not reported by itself. The primary code reflects the other work performed in the circuit, while this add-on identifies central-segment angioplasty. Documentation should establish the treated central lesion and the balloon treatment performed. CMS treats this as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period, rather than as a separate primary procedure.

36908 identifies central-segment stent placement. Choose it for central stenting rather than reporting 36907 for angioplasty that is included in that stent treatment.

36907 billing questions
When is 36907 reported with 36902?
Report both when the session includes the service represented by 36902 and balloon angioplasty in the central dialysis segment. The 36902 service addresses angioplasty in the peripheral segment; 36907 identifies central-segment angioplasty.
Can 36907 be billed without a primary code?
No. It is an add-on and must be reported with an eligible primary dialysis-circuit procedure, such as a code from 36901–36906.
Is 36907 reported for each central lesion or balloon inflation?
Report the add-on for the central-segment angioplasty service, not separately for each balloon inflation. The record should identify the treated lesion and the intervention performed.
Can 36907 be reported when a central stent is placed?
When central-segment stent placement is performed, compare 36908, which represents that stent service. Do not separately use 36907 to describe angioplasty that is part of the stent treatment.
How does the global-period rule affect 36907?
CMS classifies 36907 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period. It is reported with the primary service, not as a stand-alone procedure.
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.
