needle placement in an existing port

Can we code this report with a 36000?

PROCEDURE: Access Infuse-A-Port.


DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: Masks were placed on the patient as well as myself

and the nurse. The port site was cleaned up. A 20-gauge 1-inch needle was

used. I first used to attempt to cannulate the port where the prior needle

sticks were. However, this appeared to be below where the rubber port was. I

then accessed this just a little bit higher, was able to access the port or

press the needle down distally. I could get good venous return from this,

which was then flushed with normal saline. Dressings were then applied as

well as infection control patch directly around the needle. The patient

tolerated the procedure well.
