C9767 Fem/pop Vessels

Date: Jul 27, 2020

Question:

When separate lesions are treated with intravascular lithotripsy, atherectomy, and stent insertion in both the popliteal and the superficial femoral, would the new HCPCS code C9767 be assigned twice? The code description does not specify a vessel or group of vessels (e.g., femoral/popliteal or tibial/peroneal), it simply states "within the same vessel".
