Therapeutic Apheresis With Selective Filtering

Colorado rates for HCPCS 36516

A treatment that circulates a patient's blood through a machine outside the body to selectively remove a harmful substance, such as an antibody, from the plasma before returning the filtered blood to the patient. It is used for certain autoimmune and blood conditions where a specific substance in the bloodstream is causing symptoms or organ damage. It is a more targeted process than a standard plasma exchange, filtering out fewer of the blood's normal components.
