What 37274 covers

This add-on code covers catheter-based atherectomy to remove obstructive plaque in an additional femoral or popliteal artery vessel during endovascular revascularization. Vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional cardiologists may perform the procedure in a hospital catheterization lab or an outpatient angiography suite. Angioplasty in the treated vessel is included when performed; this code describes atherectomy without the stent-and-atherectomy combination represented by other codes in the family.

Report it for each qualifying additional vessel after the primary procedure, selecting the complex-lesion pathway based on the documented lesion and the applicable CPT criteria. The procedure note should identify the treated vessels, describe the lesion characteristics supporting complex classification, and document atherectomy in each additional vessel. CMS classifies this as an add-on code: it must be billed with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure’s global period. For bilateral procedures reported with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%.
