VenoValve

Date: Aug 31, 2022

Question:

How would you code a VenoValve placement? I would think it is either 37238 or an unlisted code, but the doctor thinks it is 37226. The reps also say to use 37224, which I know that is incorrect because that is arterial and the VenoValve goes into the vein. Of note, the patients who are getting this valve are enrolled in a research trial.
