What 37268 covers
This add-on describes endovascular stent treatment of an additional vessel in the femoral or popliteal arterial territory when the lesion meets the simple category. Vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and other qualified endovascular physicians may perform the service for peripheral arterial disease, such as symptomatic femoropopliteal stenosis or occlusion. Angioplasty performed in the same vessel as the stent is included when performed.
Report this code only with the applicable primary procedure for the first treated vessel; it is not a stand-alone service. The additional-vessel count, arterial location, lesion classification, and treatment performed should be clear in the operative report. This code is paid within the primary procedure’s global period. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. The code represents an additional vessel, not simply another stent placed in the same vessel.
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.

37268 billing questions
When should this code be reported instead of 37267?
Use 37267 for the first simple femoropopliteal vessel treated with a stent. Report 37268 for each additional qualifying vessel in the same session.
Does the code count additional stents or additional vessels?
It is for each additional vessel, not each additional stent within a vessel. Documentation should identify the additional vessel treated.
Can angioplasty in the stented vessel be billed separately?
Angioplasty performed in the same vessel as the stent is included in the stent service.
Can 37268 be reported by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with the applicable primary procedure for the first vessel.
How is bilateral treatment reported under the CMS rule?
When reported as a bilateral procedure with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%.
What documentation supports the additional-vessel code?
The procedure report should identify the femoral or popliteal vessel, the stent treatment performed, the lesion classification, and which vessel was treated first versus additionally.
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.
