ClariVein CPT Codes It may help to have them see how Medicare values (pays) for these embolization codes: Per CMS 2012b MPFS: RVUs 18.11 for CPT 37204 Embolization RVUs 1.31 CPT 75894 Embolization S & I Total: 19.42 RVUs RVUs 1.10 for CPT 36470 Sclerotherapy RVUs 6.72 for CPT 36478 EVLA CPT 37204 and 75894 were not designed for Clarivein. Typically, I see these codes reported for selective and subselective transcatheter occlusions of vessel(s) supplying an abnormality. Considering Clarivein is probably even less invasive than EVLA it does not make sense to assign 37204 that has been valued at least double a sclerotherapy.

things wont be perfect till they obtain a dedicated cpt code, which will only happen after randomized trials...
