What 37285 covers
This add-on code represents stent-based endovascular revascularization of an additional tibial or peroneal artery in the lower leg. Vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional cardiologists may perform these procedures in an angiography suite or operating room to improve blood flow in a diseased vessel. The code distinguishes treatment of additional vessels from the first vessel treated in the same straightforward intervention.
Report it with the applicable primary procedure, identifying the additional vessel treated and documenting the intervention and its straightforward classification. The CMS payment rule treats this as an add-on service paid within the primary procedure’s global period. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. The record should support the treated anatomy, stent placement, and the number of additional vessels.
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.

37285 billing questions
When should 37285 be chosen instead of 37284?
Use 37284 for the first vessel in a straightforward tibial-peroneal stenting procedure. Use 37285 for each additional vessel treated in that same procedure.
Can 37285 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with the applicable primary procedure.
How is the number of units determined?
Count each additional tibial or peroneal vessel treated beyond the first vessel. Document the specific vessels and the treatment performed.
What distinguishes 37285 from 37287?
Both describe additional-vessel stenting in this vascular territory, but 37285 is for a straightforward procedure and 37287 is for a complex procedure.
How does the bilateral payment rule affect this code?
When the procedure is bilateral and reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%.
Is the service paid separately from the primary procedure’s global period?
No. CMS identifies 37285 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s 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.
