Endovascular revascularization
About 37264: Additional simple femoral-popliteal angioplasty
Reports balloon angioplasty of each additional vessel in the femoral-popliteal territory during simple-category endovascular revascularization.
This add-on represents balloon angioplasty in an additional vessel of the femoral-popliteal arterial territory, such as an artery in the thigh or behind the knee. The intervention opens a narrowed or occluded peripheral artery to improve blood flow. Vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional cardiologists may perform this catheter-based treatment for peripheral artery disease, including symptomatic claudication or limb-threatening ischemia.
Report the code for each qualifying additional vessel treated with angioplasty in the simple category, alongside the applicable first-vessel procedure. The operative report should identify the treated vessels and document the intervention and the basis for classifying it as simple. This is an add-on code and is paid within the primary procedure’s global period. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays this code at 150%.

37264 billing questions
Which code is reported for the first vessel?
For simple-category angioplasty in the femoral-popliteal territory, 37263 identifies the first vessel. Code 37264 is for each additional vessel and cannot be reported alone.
Is 37264 reported per lesion or per vessel?
It is an additional-vessel code, not a code for each lesion or balloon inflation. Documentation should identify each separately treated vessel.
When is 37265 used instead?
37265 describes the first vessel when the femoral-popliteal angioplasty falls in the complex category. Code 37264 is for additional vessels in the simple category.
How does modifier 50 affect payment?
For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 37264 at 150%.
What documentation supports reporting an additional vessel?
The procedure report should name the additional femoral-popliteal vessel treated, describe the angioplasty performed, and support the simple-category classification.
Where these rates come from
