Frequently asked questions
- How many surgeons perform Endovenous Laser Vein Ablation in Tennessee?
- 8 Tennessee providers billed Medicare for Endovenous Laser Vein Ablation (CPT 36478) in CY2024. CMS suppresses providers with 10 or fewer Medicare patients, so the true count is somewhat higher.
- Where does this data come from?
