Summary

Hemodialysis is a procedure that involves drawing blood via an intraarterial or intravenous catheter, then sieving it through a semipermeable membrane to remove the impurities and finally transfusing the blood back into body. Along with performing hemodialysis, the same physician may also carry out an E/M service related to the dialysis on the same day, which is also included in this code.
