Endovascular revascularization
About 37295: Complex tibial-peroneal stent and atherectomy
Reports complex endovascular treatment of an additional tibial or peroneal artery vessel using both atherectomy and stent placement.
This add-on code represents treatment of an additional tibial or peroneal artery vessel in a lower-extremity endovascular revascularization, when the work includes both atherectomy and stent placement and meets the CPT criteria for a complex service. Vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and other physicians performing peripheral endovascular procedures may report it for qualifying below-knee arterial disease. The code describes the combined treatment in an additional vessel, not a first-vessel service.
Report 37295 only with the corresponding primary procedure, 37294, and only for an additional vessel that meets the complex-code criteria. The operative report should identify the treated tibial or peroneal vessel, the atherectomy and stent work, and the basis for the complex classification. As an add-on code, it is paid within the primary procedure’s global period. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays the procedure at 150%.

37295 billing questions
When should 37295 be reported instead of 37294?
Use 37294 for the first qualifying complex vessel and 37295 for each additional qualifying complex vessel. The record should support the complex classification for each vessel.
Can 37295 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with the corresponding primary procedure, 37294.
How does 37295 differ from 37293?
Both describe an additional vessel treated with atherectomy and stent placement, but 37293 is for the simple category and 37295 is for the complex category.
Should atherectomy and stent placement be reported separately for the same vessel?
This code represents their combined treatment in the additional vessel. Do not separately report those same-vessel components as if they were separate add-on services.
How is bilateral treatment handled?
For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. The add-on code still requires its corresponding primary procedure.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
