What 37272 covers

This add-on represents catheter-based removal of atherosclerotic material from an additional femoral or popliteal artery during endovascular revascularization. It is used after the initial artery in the same unilateral femoropopliteal territory has been treated. Vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional cardiologists commonly perform these procedures in a hospital angiography or catheterization suite. The simple-lesion code family applies when the documented intervention meets the CPT definition for simple rather than complex treatment.

Report one unit for each additional qualifying artery beyond the first, with the corresponding initial-vessel procedure. The operative report should identify the treated arteries, describe atherectomy in each, and support the simple-lesion classification. Angioplasty performed in the same vessel is included when performed. CMS classifies this as an add-on: it must be billed with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure’s global period. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%.
