Wiki 36561 with 77001

[Trendale]

Hi, Can someone tell me if I can bill 77001 along with 36561 central venous access device? My physcian uses the flouroscopic guidiance when he does the central venous access device.

Yes, you can use 77001 as long as you add a modifier 26. You can also use 76937-26 if you surgeon uses ultrasound guidance to place the port/cath.
