Billing in Vascular Surgery
A practical view of what makes this specialty unique.
Vascular surgery billing involves a complex mix of open surgical procedures and endovascular interventions for diseases of the arteries and veins. Accurate coding requires a deep understanding of anatomy, the specific techniques used (balloon angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy), and the various components of these often multi-stage procedures. Our vascular surgery billing service provides this expertise, ensuring that every intervention, from a simple vein ablation to a complex aortic aneurysm repair, is coded correctly to maximize your revenue.
Accurate coding for peripheral vascular interventions (PVI) in iliac, femoral, and tibial vessels.
Standardized into our workflow to reduce rework and protect revenue.
Expertise in coding for carotid interventions (CAS, CEA).
Standardized into our workflow to reduce rework and protect revenue.
Management of coding for aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR, open).
Standardized into our workflow to reduce rework and protect revenue.
Coding for dialysis access procedures (creation, maintenance, thrombectomy).
Standardized into our workflow to reduce rework and protect revenue.
What slows reimbursement
The common friction points that trigger delays, denials, and rework.
- Accurately coding for complex endovascular interventions (angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy) in various vessels.
- Managing the coding for multi-stage procedures involving diagnostic and interventional components.
- Ensuring proper coding for open surgical procedures on arteries and veins (bypass, endarterectomy, aneurysm repair).
- Correctly coding for dialysis access procedures (fistulas, grafts) and their maintenance.
- Navigating the complex CCI edits and bundling rules for vascular procedures.
- Certified vascular surgery coders with deep expertise in both open and endovascular procedures.
- Precise coding for all arterial and venous interventions, including angioplasty (37220-37235), stenting (37236-37239), and atherectomy.
- Expertise in coding for open surgical revascularization, including bypass grafts (35556-35587) and endarterectomy (35301-35381).
- Meticulous management of component coding for diagnostic angiography and subsequent intervention.
- Proactive prior authorization management for elective vascular procedures and advanced imaging.
- Detailed support for coding venous procedures, including ablation (36465-36479) and phlebectomy (37765-37766).

Coding complexities we watch closely
Modifier usage, documentation rules, and specialty-specific payer edits.
- Endovascular coding based on the vessel treated, lesion, and procedure performed.
- Diagnostic angiography vs. interventional coding, and use of modifiers for separate procedures.
- Coding for multiple interventions in the same vessel or different vessels.
- Correct use of add-on codes for additional vessels treated.
Incorrect coding for the specific vessel treated.
Bundling of diagnostic and interventional components.
Missing modifiers for multiple procedures.
Lack of medical necessity for interventions based on documentation.
Coding for atherectomy when not separately reimbursable.
