What 37248 covers
This service opens a narrowed or obstructed vein by advancing and inflating a balloon across the lesion. It may be performed percutaneously or through an open approach by an interventional radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other physician performing venous intervention. Common settings include treatment of iliac or central venous stenosis related to prior thrombosis, compression, or catheter-related injury. The code includes the imaging guidance and radiological supervision and interpretation needed for the angioplasty; it is not for angioplasty of a dialysis circuit.
Report 37248 for the initial vein treated during the session. Use 37249 for each additional vein treated, rather than counting balloon inflations or lesions. The operative report should identify the vein, stenosis, and angioplasty performed. When a stent is placed in the same vein, the stent code includes angioplasty in that vessel. CMS 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%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

37248 billing questions
When should 37248 be used instead of 37249?
Use 37248 for the first vein treated with balloon angioplasty in the session. Use 37249 for each additional vein treated.
Can angioplasty be reported separately when a vein is stented?
Angioplasty performed in the same vein as a stent is included in the venous stent code. Do not separately report 37248 for that same-vessel angioplasty.
Does 37248 include imaging guidance and interpretation?
Yes. The code includes the imaging guidance and radiological supervision and interpretation needed to perform the angioplasty.
How is bilateral venous angioplasty reported?
When the procedure is performed bilaterally, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Does 37248 cover angioplasty in a dialysis access circuit?
No. This code is for venous angioplasty outside a dialysis circuit; dialysis-circuit angioplasty is reported from its own code family.
What same-session payment rules affect 37248?
CMS applies the standard multiple procedure reduction: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. The code has a 0-day global period.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
