Vascular intervention
About 37192: Endovascular vena cava filter repositioning
Reports catheter-based repositioning of an existing vena cava filter when its position needs correction, with imaging guidance and interpretation included.
An interventional radiologist or vascular surgeon uses an endovascular approach to adjust the position of an already placed vena cava filter. A typical situation is a filter found to be malpositioned and requiring catheter-based correction. Imaging guidance and radiological supervision and interpretation are part of the service. This is not the code for initially placing a filter or retrieving one.
The operative report should identify the existing filter, explain why it required repositioning, and document the endovascular adjustment and resulting position. The service has 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 are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this anatomy. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
