Vein Cutdown For Access In Infants

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 36420

A small incision is made in the skin so the surgeon can see a vein directly and place a tube or needle into it, used in a baby under one year old when a vein cannot be entered through the skin in the usual way. It is done when reliable access is needed urgently for fluids, medicine, or blood draws. The incision is closed once access is secured.
