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

What 37291 covers

This add-on code describes atherectomy in an additional tibial or peroneal vessel during endovascular treatment of lower-extremity arterial disease. A vascular surgeon, interventional radiologist, or interventional cardiologist may perform the catheter-based procedure in an angiography or operating suite for limb ischemia caused by obstructive disease. Atherectomy removes or debulks plaque to restore blood flow; angioplasty associated with the atherectomy is part of the revascularization service, rather than a separate angioplasty-only service in that vessel.

Report 37291 only with the appropriate primary procedure, such as 37290 for complex atherectomy in the first vessel. Use it for an additional vessel that meets the complex category’s criteria; document the treated vessels, lesion characteristics supporting that classification, and the atherectomy performed. CMS pays this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%.
