Catheter Into A Deeper Vein Branch

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 36012

Threads a thin tube through a vein and steers it out along the branching vessels to a chosen branch, whether that is the second branch off the main vessel or one deeper still, such as a vein draining an adrenal gland. It is done to inject dye for imaging or to collect blood samples from one specific vein. Only the catheter work is covered; imaging or treatment delivered through the catheter is charged separately.
