About 36560: Tunneled central venous port placement, child
Reports placement of a tunneled central venous access device with an implanted port for a patient younger than five years.
Select this code when the patient is younger than five on the procedure date and the device includes a subcutaneous port. Documentation should establish the patient’s age, tunneled central venous placement, and port implantation; a tunneled catheter without a port or a non-tunneled catheter is coded differently. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and other procedures at 50%. A bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
