Summary & Overview
CPT 3760F: Performance Measure Documentation
CPT code 3760F is a CPT Category II-style code used to record a documented performance measure or clinical data element in the medical record. Although the input description provides no specific summary, this type of code typically serves to standardize reporting of clinical actions, quality measures, or patient status elements across outpatient and administrative workflows. Nationally, these codes matter because they support quality measurement, payer reporting, and value-based care programs that rely on structured data capture rather than direct procedural reimbursement.
Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find context on how a documentation-focused CPT code fits into clinical workflows, the typical sites of service where such documentation is recorded, and the implications for medical record capture and quality reporting. The publication also outlines the types of benchmarking and policy topics readers should expect to review, such as coding guidance, documentation requirements, and the role of structured data in payer reporting and performance measurement. Data not available in the input is noted where specific code details are missing.

Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A 65-year-old patient with peripheral arterial disease presents with progressive claudication and an arteriovenous fistula malfunction requiring surgical or endovascular intervention. The clinical workflow begins with history and physical, vascular imaging (duplex ultrasound, CT angiography), and perioperative assessment. The patient is scheduled for an operating room procedure performed by a vascular surgeon or interventional radiologist. Intraoperative activities include evaluation of the affected vessel or fistula, localized surgical exposure or endovascular access, repair, revision, or ligation as indicated, hemostasis, and placement of drains or dressings. Postoperative care includes recovery-room monitoring, wound checks, anticoagulation management as applicable, and follow-up vascular clinic visit with imaging to confirm patency or resolution of the problem.

25 | Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service on the same day | Use when a distinct E/M visit is performed prior to the procedure |
59 | Distinct procedural service | Use to indicate a separate procedure or service performed on a separate anatomic site |
