It is my understanding there is no CPT code for removal of a non-tunneled line but you can charge an E/M. The code for a tunneled line removal is 36589. Hope that sheds some light.

Is was told the same. Just use a E/M code.
PICC line removal
I had this situation this week. We were not the ones who inserted the PICC line and pt was seen in our office for a post op visit. I billed an established pt visit (99213) and applied a 24 modifier.
