About 75901: Fluoroscopic interpretation of catheter obstruction removal
Radiologic supervision and interpretation for fluoroscopic mechanical clearance of material surrounding a central venous catheter, reported with the corresponding catheter-clearing procedure.
This code represents the radiologic supervision and interpretation associated with mechanically clearing obstructive material around a central venous catheter, such as material forming a fibrin sheath. An interventional radiologist or other qualified physician evaluates fluoroscopic imaging during the catheter-clearing procedure and documents the imaging findings. The code concerns material outside the catheter, rather than a blockage within its lumen, and is used in hospital and other settings where this image-guided service is performed.
Report 75901 with the corresponding mechanical removal service, 36595, when the obstruction is pericatheter. The record should support the obstruction’s location and the physician’s imaging supervision and interpretation. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the interpretation, modifier TC for the equipment and staff, or neither modifier for the global service. These component modifiers are separately priced in the Medicare fee schedule.

75901 billing questions
How does 75901 differ from 75902?
75901 is for radiologic supervision and interpretation when obstructive material is around the catheter. 75902 is the related imaging code when the obstruction is within the catheter lumen.
Which mechanical removal service is reported with 75901?
Pair it with 36595 for mechanical removal of pericatheter obstructive material. The imaging code represents supervision and interpretation, not the mechanical removal itself.
When should modifier 26 or TC be used?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports 75901?
Document that the obstruction is around the catheter, the fluoroscopic supervision performed, and the physician’s interpretation of the imaging during mechanical clearance.
Is 75901 used for a blockage inside the catheter?
No. A blockage within the catheter lumen corresponds to 75902 for radiologic supervision and interpretation, with 36596 for the associated mechanical removal 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 indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
