Lower Extremity Intravascular Lithotripsy

Vascular Surgery
Written By Tristan Grider

Question:

How do we code for lower extremity Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL)? Can physicians use HCPCS codes C9764-C9767?

Answer:

There is currently no CPT code to represent physician coding for Intravascular Lithotripsy of the lower extremities. Physicians should not report the facility codes C9764-C9767, instead report these procedures with unlisted vascular CPT code 37799 and compare to an angioplasty code for the same vessel.

*This response is based on the best information available as of 10/31/24.
