CPT code A tunneled centrally-inserted central venous catheter is placed in a 57 year old patient?
The CPT code for a tunneled centrally-inserted central venous catheter (CVC) placement typically falls under 36556, which specifically describes the insertion of a tunneled catheter. This procedure involves creating a tunnel subcutaneously for the catheter to exit the body, allowing for long-term access to the central venous system. It's important to document the patient’s age and any relevant medical history to ensure proper coding and billing.

What is a non tunneled catheter?
A non-tunneled catheter is a type of central venous catheter that is inserted directly into a large vein, typically in the neck, chest, or groin, without creating a subcutaneous tunnel. It is primarily used for short-term access to the bloodstream for administering medications, fluids, or for hemodialysis. Non-tunneled catheters are generally placed in emergency situations or for patients requiring immediate vascular access, but they carry a higher risk of infection compared to tunneled catheters. They are typically removed once they are no longer needed or when the patient is stable.
