What 37294 covers

This code describes catheter-based treatment of a complex lesion in an initial tibial or peroneal artery vessel, combining atherectomy with stent placement. It is typically performed by an interventional radiologist, vascular surgeon, or interventional cardiologist in a hospital or other procedural setting. Angioplasty within the treated vessel is part of this revascularization service. The code is specific to the tibial/peroneal vascular territory; femoral or popliteal interventions belong to a different territory family.

Select the complex first-vessel code when the documented intervention meets the CPT criteria for complex treatment and includes both atherectomy and stenting. The operative report should identify the treated vessel, the intervention performed, and the basis for classifying the work as complex. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in one session, CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.

37294 billing questions

How does 37294 differ from 37292?

Both describe tibial/peroneal treatment using stenting and atherectomy in an initial vessel. Use 37294 for a lesion meeting the CPT complex criteria and 37292 for the simple category.

Does 37294 include both atherectomy and stent placement?

Yes. It represents the combined treatment in the same complex tibial/peroneal vessel, including angioplasty within that vessel.

Which code reports another complex vessel?

Use 37295 for each additional complex tibial/peroneal vessel treated with stenting and atherectomy, subject to the applicable CPT instructions.

What documentation supports 37294?

Document the tibial or peroneal vessel treated, the atherectomy and stent work performed, and the facts supporting complex rather than simple classification.

How does CMS handle other procedures in the same session?

CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and other procedures at 50% under the standard multiple procedure reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%.

Can an assistant surgeon be paid with 37294?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is available only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.
