Shockwave Lithoplasty Lower Extremity

Date: May 9, 2022

Question:

I was hoping you could help with how to code in the the tibial/peroneal area when shockwave lithoplasty is involved. Patient had diseases and stenosis in all three vessels. Angioplasty was performed of the posterior tibial artery and peroneal artery followed by shockwave lithoplasty of a particularly stubborn anterior tibial artery stenosis. Can we bill C9772 with 37228 and 37232 on the hospital side?
