CPT 37214: Catheter-Directed Thrombolytic Infusion
CPT code 37214 represents catheter-directed thrombolytic infusion into an arterial or venous clot with radiological supervision and interpretation, including catheter contrast injection, position change or replacement, and procedural termination with catheter removal and vessel closure. This intervention is clinically important for treating acute thrombotic occlusions outside the coronary circulation and can span multiple treatment days, with this code used for subsequent-day therapy or for final cessation of therapy. Nationally, use of this code reflects access to advanced interventional radiology and vascular services for acute limb- and organ-sparing thrombolysis.
Key payers in the analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of the clinical and procedural scope of 37214, typical sites of service, and which payers commonly cover catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy. The publication also outlines billing context such as common modifiers and related service considerations. This resource is intended to support administrators, coding professionals, and clinical leaders seeking a clear, national-level summary of the code's clinical meaning, operational setting, and payer landscape.
