What 36247 covers

This service covers selective catheter advancement into a third-order-or-more branch of the abdominal, pelvic, or lower-extremity arterial system. Interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and other physicians performing catheter-based vascular care may report it during peripheral angiography, embolization, or endovascular treatment for conditions such as peripheral arterial disease or bleeding. The code represents catheter selection, not the imaging study or the therapeutic work itself.

Choose the code based on the order of the branch reached within its vascular family and the most selective catheter position documented. It represents the initial third-order-or-more selection; additional qualifying branch selections may be reported with 36248. Document the artery entered, its branch order, catheter position, and any additional selections. Diagnostic imaging or treatment may be separately reportable when supported by the applicable coding rules. Medicare assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. In a session with multiple procedures, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 bilateral reporting is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
