can I use a code 36589 for removal of picc line? Is picc line the same as tunneled cvc? would a non-tunneled be called picc line also? Help. I am confused. thanx.
 
Yes there are tunneled and non tunneled PICC lines. If this is a tunneled PICC line then CPT 36589 is appropriate code. Removal of a NON tunneled PICC is inclusive of the E&M service.
