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

What 33363 covers

This code describes TAVR using an open axillary artery approach: the artery is surgically exposed to deliver and deploy a prosthetic aortic valve. The valve is placed by catheter rather than through conventional open valve replacement. The procedure is typically performed by a cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology team in a hospital operating room or hybrid suite for a patient with aortic valve disease, commonly severe aortic stenosis, when axillary access is selected.

Select this code based on the documented access route, not simply because the procedure is called “open.” The operative report should identify surgical exposure of the axillary artery and transcatheter valve delivery. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons are permitted, and team-surgery payment requires supporting documentation.
