Stent Placement In A Vein, First Vein Treated

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 37238

A small mesh tube called a stent is placed inside a vein to hold it open where it has narrowed or collapsed, restoring flow. It can be done through a puncture in a blood vessel or through a surgical opening made to reach the vein directly, with live imaging used throughout. Any balloon widening done in the same vein at that time is part of the service, which covers the first vein treated.
