Contrast Dye Check Of An Existing Central Line

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 36598

This procedure injects contrast dye into an already-placed central venous catheter while taking live X-ray images, to confirm the catheter is positioned correctly and functioning properly. It's used to investigate a suspected problem with the catheter, such as blockage or malposition, rather than to place a new catheter. A written report of the findings is produced.
