Ultrasound guided venous access CPT code
I am setting up a US-PIV access program and would like to know of anyones experience with these codes?

This is our PICC code:
36569 –Peripherally inserted  Without subcutaneous port/pump  Age 5 and older
Can we use the ultrasound guidance code with it ?
Can we use it for PIV placement?

+76937 – ultrasound guidance for vascular access
 


76937 (-26)    the -26 might not apply

Ultrasound guidance for vascular access requiring ultrasound evaluation of potential access sites, documentation of selected vessel patency, concurrent real-time ultrasound visualization of vascular needle entry, with permanent recording and reporting (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)

I requested it from my director.   Looks like what we all need.
