Platelet Removal By Apheresis

Ohio rates for HCPCS 36513

Blood is drawn from a vein and passed through a machine that separates out and discards platelets, the small cells that make blood clot, before returning the rest of the blood to the patient. Lowering a dangerously high platelet count reduces the risk of clots and stroke. It is a treatment session, not a blood donation.
