Endovascular & PAD Revascularization Scrubber
Lower extremity revascularization coding (CPT 37220–37235) follows rigid vascular territory rules where angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting are subject to strict intra-vessel hierarchies. Selective catheter placement (36245–36248) is statutorily bundled, and diagnostic angiography (75710) requires specific medical necessity exemptions. Scrub your endovascular and office-based lab (OBL) claims before submission.
Endovascular & PAD Revascularization Scrubber
Enforce CPT vascular territory hierarchy (iliac, femoral-popliteal, tibial-peroneal), suppress bundled angioplasties and selective catheter placements (36245–36248), and audit diagnostic angiography (75710) Modifier 59 exemptions.
Vascular Territory & Bed Definition
CPT guidelines mandate strict single-bed territory coding
Single continuous vascular bed from common femoral bifurcation to tibioperoneal trunk.
Primary Vessel Procedure Hierarchy
Only the highest-tier intervention per vessel may be reported
NCCI Bundling & Modifiers Scrubber
Audit unbundling collisions before claim submission

- Selective Catheter Placement Bundled: CPT 36245–36248 is bundled into lower extremity revascularization codes 37220–37235. Cannot be unbundled with Modifier 59.
