Dialysis access intervention
About 36908: Central dialysis-segment stent placement
Reports endovascular stent placement in the central portion of a dialysis access circuit, such as for a central venous narrowing treated during access intervention.
This add-on describes endovascular placement of one or more stents in the central dialysis segment, commonly to treat a narrowing that limits outflow from an arteriovenous fistula or graft. An interventional radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other qualified endovascular operator typically performs the work in an angiography suite or hybrid procedure room. Imaging and radiological supervision and interpretation for the stent placement are included, as is angioplasty within the same vessel when performed.
Report 36908 only with an appropriate primary dialysis-circuit procedure, selected according to the access work performed and whether thrombectomy, angioplasty, or peripheral-segment stenting was also done. The record should identify the central vessel and lesion treated, document stent deployment, and describe the related circuit procedure. Under the CMS payment rule, this add-on is paid within the primary procedure’s global period and is not reported by itself.

36908 billing questions
Can 36908 be reported by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be billed with an appropriate primary dialysis-circuit procedure, such as a code from 36901–36906.
Is angioplasty in the stented vessel separately reported?
Angioplasty within the same central vessel is included in 36908 when performed. The code also includes the related imaging and radiological supervision and interpretation.
How does 36908 differ from 36907?
36908 reports central-segment stent placement; 36907 reports central-segment balloon angioplasty. Angioplasty in the same vessel as the 36908 stent is included.
Which code applies when the stent is in the peripheral dialysis segment?
Use 36903 for peripheral-segment stent placement without thrombectomy, or 36906 when thrombectomy and peripheral-segment stent placement are performed.
What should the procedure note support?
Document the central vessel and lesion treated, stent deployment, and the primary dialysis-circuit work that supports the required companion code.
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.
