Tibial/peroneal (Anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peritoneal). Three vessels in total can be billed if necessary (base code plus add-on codes). The TP is bundled into the peroneal or posterior tibial. Only one code allowed in each territory.
Codes to describe procedure(s): 37228, 37230, 37229, 37231 based on highest intervention. Add-on codes 37232, 37234, 37233, 37235 (based on highest intervention).
Up to 2 add-on codes in Tibial/Peroneal territory could be used to describe services provided in a single leg since there are 3 tibial/peroneal vessels which could be treated.
