What 37287 covers
This add-on code covers stent placement in each additional peripheral artery treated as part of a complex endovascular revascularization. It is used when the intervention extends beyond the first qualifying vessel and the documented lesion treatment supports the complex stenting category. Vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists commonly perform these procedures in an angiography suite or hospital operating room for peripheral arterial disease.
Report 37287 only with an appropriate primary revascularization procedure; it is not a stand-alone service. The operative report should identify the treated vessels, the stent placement in each additional vessel, and the clinical and procedural details supporting complex rather than simple treatment. When the procedure is bilateral, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. CMS places payment for this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period.
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 is for additional-vessel stenting classified as simple; 37287 is for additional-vessel stenting classified as complex.
- 37295Tibial revascularization
- 37295 includes atherectomy with complex stenting in an additional vessel; 37287 describes complex stenting without that combined atherectomy service.
37287 billing questions
When is 37287 used instead of 37286?
37286 reports the first vessel treated with complex stenting; 37287 reports each additional vessel treated with complex stenting during the revascularization.
Can 37287 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with an appropriate primary revascularization procedure.
What documentation supports reporting an additional vessel?
The procedure report should identify the additional artery and document the stent placement and lesion-treatment details supporting complex treatment.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
For a bilateral procedure, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Does 37287 have its own global period?
Payment for 37287 is within the primary procedure’s global period, as specified for this add-on code.
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.
