Venous intervention

About 37286: Complex peripheral venous stent placement

Reports complex endovascular stent treatment in the initial peripheral vein treated for obstructive venous disease, such as chronic iliofemoral venous obstruction.

This code represents endovascular stent treatment of a complex obstruction in the first peripheral vein treated during the procedure. It is used for venous disease such as chronic iliofemoral obstruction, including post-thrombotic narrowing or compression-related obstruction. Interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons commonly perform the work in a hospital or ambulatory procedure suite, using catheter-based access and imaging to cross and treat the lesion. The code distinguishes a complex lesion from a simple one; the stent device alone does not determine that classification.

Report it for the initial treated vein when the procedure meets the complex criteria, and use the additional-vein code for each qualifying subsequent vein. The operative report should identify the treated venous anatomy, the nature and extent of the obstruction, the approach used to cross it, and stent placement. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 identifies bilateral work and is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

37286 billing questions

How is this code different from 37284?

Both report initial-vein stent treatment. Use 37286 for a complex lesion and 37284 for a simple lesion; the documented lesion and procedure determine the classification.

When is 37287 reported with this code?

37287 reports complex stent treatment in an additional vein after the initial vein represented by 37286. Document each treated vein and its qualifying work.

Can angioplasty in the stented vein be reported separately?

Do not separately report angioplasty as another revascularization service for the same treated vein when it is part of the stent treatment. Distinct work in another vein requires separate evaluation under the applicable code.

What documentation supports the complex classification?

Document the vein treated, the obstruction's location and extent, the procedural features supporting complex treatment, and stent placement. Do not rely on the number or type of stents alone.

How does Medicare handle bilateral treatment?

CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; report modifier 50 for bilateral work. The CMS payment rule is 150%.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted under the CMS rules for this 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 indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
