Fitting and adjustment of peritoneal dialysis catheter

This code signifies the professional services involved in the initial placement, subsequent adjustment, or replacement of a peritoneal dialysis catheter. It covers the medical procedures necessary to ensure the proper functioning and patient comfort related to the device used for peritoneal dialysis.

Use this code when a patient undergoes the insertion of a new peritoneal dialysis catheter, or when an existing catheter requires repositioning, repair, or complete replacement due to malfunction, infection, or other complications. It is appropriate for both inpatient and outpatient settings where these procedures are performed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the procedure as fitting, adjustment, or replacement of a peritoneal dialysis catheter.
• Do not use for routine maintenance or flushing of an existing, properly functioning catheter.
• Pair with appropriate CPT codes for the specific procedure performed (e.g., insertion, removal, revision).
