Selective Vein Catheter Placement, First Branch

Delaware rates for HCPCS 36011

Guides a thin, flexible tube (catheter) through the venous blood vessel system from a larger vein into a specific first branch vein, such as one leading to a particular organ, so that vein can be sampled or treated directly. It's a foundational step for various diagnostic tests and treatments that require precise access to a particular vein rather than just the main venous pathway. Reaching an even more specific, deeper branch beyond this point is billed separately as a related service.
