Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 37249 covers

An endovascular specialist, interventional radiologist, or vascular surgeon uses a balloon catheter to widen a narrowed segment in an additional vein after treating the initial vein. The service may be performed through percutaneous access or during open vascular surgery, commonly to address venous outflow obstruction. This code is for venous angioplasty outside a dialysis circuit; dialysis-access circuit treatment follows a separate code family.

Report one unit for each additional vein treated, rather than for repeated balloon inflations or multiple stenoses within one vein. The operative or procedure report should identify the treated veins and document the stenosis and balloon treatment. This is an add-on code and must be reported with a primary procedure, typically 37248 for the initial vein; CMS pays it within that primary procedure's global period. For bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%.
