CPT 36145

I see the 36145 is no longer in the CPT book. What do we use in its place for placing a catheter in an AV shunt for imaging and/or interventions?


Answer:
CPT deleted 36145, introduction of a needle or catheter arteriovenous (AV) shunt created for dialysis. In its place, CPT has established two new codes, 36147 and 36148.  36147 is reported for the first catheter access of the AV shunt and includes all fluoroscopy (previously reported as 75790, angiography AV shunt). 36148 is reported for an additional catheter access for a therapeutic intervention. 75790 has also been deleted since it is now inclusive to 36147.
