About 37214: Thrombolysis cessation with catheter removal
Report this service when catheter-directed arterial or venous thrombolytic treatment ends, including removal of the infusion catheter and vessel closure.
This service represents the end of catheter-directed thrombolytic treatment in an artery or vein, including removing the treatment catheter and closing the vessel access by an appropriate method. It is typically performed by an interventional radiologist or vascular specialist treating an acute clot, such as an arterial or venous thrombosis, with an infusion catheter. The work occurs when the thrombolytic course is stopped, rather than when infusion is started or continued.
Report the cessation service for the treatment-ending encounter, supported by documentation of the treated vessel, thrombolytic course, decision to stop therapy, catheter removal, and access closure. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
