Dual-Catheter Central Line for Dialysis Access

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 36565

A procedure to place a long-term central venous catheter that uses two separate tubes inserted through two different entry points into large veins, most often to provide the two-way blood flow needed for hemodialysis. The catheter is tunneled under the skin for a more secure, longer-lasting placement, and this version does not include an implanted port or pump reservoir. It is typically used when a patient needs ongoing dialysis access rather than a short-term line.
