About 37260: Complex aortoiliac stent revascularization
Reports endovascular stent treatment of a qualifying complex aortoiliac lesion in the first treated vessel for peripheral arterial disease.
This code describes catheter-based revascularization with stent placement for a qualifying complex lesion in the aortoiliac arterial territory, such as a lesion involving the iliac arteries. It is used in treatment of peripheral arterial disease when the treating specialist selects stenting rather than angioplasty alone. Vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional cardiologists may perform the procedure in a hospital or other procedural setting.
Report this code for the first treated vessel when the documented lesion and treatment meet the complex-stenting criteria for this code family. The operative report should identify the arterial territory and vessel, lesion characteristics supporting complex classification, and stent treatment. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. With multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Office rates for Oregon, from the same CMS release.
$3,338.41–$3,708.36
37260 reports the first vessel treated with complex stenting; 37261 reports each additional vessel and is an add-on code.
$2,397.40–$2,635.13
Both concern complex aortoiliac revascularization of the first vessel. Use 37256 for angioplasty without stenting and 37260 for stent treatment.
$5,391.06–$5,985.32
37263 concerns femoropopliteal angioplasty, not aortoiliac stent revascularization; the arterial territory and intervention differ.

37260 billing questions
How does this differ from 37258?
Both report first-vessel aortoiliac stent revascularization. Use 37260 when the lesion meets the code family's complex criteria; use 37258 for a simple lesion.
When is 37261 reported with this code?
37261 is the add-on code for each additional vessel treated with complex stent revascularization. Report it with the applicable primary code, not by itself.
What documentation supports complex classification?
Document the treated aortoiliac vessel, lesion features supporting the complex category, and the stent intervention performed. The record should make clear which vessel is first and which, if any, are additional.
Can angioplasty be reported separately for the stented lesion?
Do not assume that balloon treatment of the same lesion is separately reportable from the stent service. Follow the CPT family instructions and distinguish any separately treated lesion in the procedure documentation.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
For bilateral procedures reported with modifier 50, CMS pays this code at 150%. The code has a 0-day global period, including same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
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 for this code.
