The Most Common Venous Access Device
Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC)
• An infusion referral where the patient’s VAD is a PICC line is the most
common type received at VNSNY
• Some considerations:
- Do not confuse a referral requesting a PICC line maintenance with
an infusion referral
- PICC lines/VAD maintenance must only be referred to the CHHA
- CHHA RN to provide nursing for line maintenance
- Ensure that a signed script is obtained
- An x‐ray report detailing the tip location is also needed
- HCC will order through OPS.
- Only Medicare and Medicaid are accepted for PICC maintenance
