Placement of a Tunneled Abdominal Catheter

Florida rates for HCPCS 49418

In this procedure, a doctor places a flexible tube through the skin into the abdominal cavity, tunneling it under the skin for stability, so fluids like dialysis solution or chemotherapy medication can be delivered directly into that space. Imaging guidance is used throughout to help place the catheter safely and confirm it is positioned correctly.
