Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 33362 covers

This procedure replaces the aortic valve using a catheter introduced through a surgically exposed femoral artery. It is an option for a patient undergoing transcatheter treatment of aortic stenosis when open femoral access is used rather than a needle puncture through the skin. An interventional cardiologist and cardiac surgeon may work together in a catheterization laboratory or hybrid operating room. The valve is delivered through the femoral access site and positioned within the diseased aortic valve; the surgical opening is the access route, not an open surgical replacement of the valve.

Select 33362 from the documented route of access, specifically a femoral artery exposed by incision. Document the access method and valve implantation. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this valve procedure. An assistant surgeon requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons are permitted, while team surgery requires supporting documentation.
