90935 is the correct code for hemodialysis procedure with single evaluation by a physician or other qualified healthcare professional.
Code 90937 is incorrect because this is the code for hemodialysis requiring repeated evaluations. Code 90940 is incorrect because this is the code for a hemodialysis access flow study and 90945 is incorrect because this code refers to dialysis procedure other than hemodialysis.
