What 33513 covers
Code 33513 describes coronary artery bypass surgery using venous conduits to bypass four coronary targets. A cardiothoracic surgeon typically performs the operation in a hospital operating room, often using segments of the patient’s saphenous vein to route blood around obstructed coronary arteries. The operative report should identify the conduit type and the distal coronary targets; sequential grafting may require attention to the number of distal anastomoses rather than simply the number of harvested vein segments.
Select this code when the bypasses are venous-only. If arterial and venous conduits are both used, the arterial bypass code and the applicable venous add-on code describe that combination instead. Endoscopic vein harvesting may be reported separately with 33508 when performed and supported by the operative record. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; an assistant at surgery may be paid, but co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

33513 billing questions
How is 33513 distinguished from 33512 or 33514?
Choose by the number of coronary targets bypassed with venous grafts: 33513 is for four, 33512 for three, and 33514 for five. Use the operative report’s target and anastomosis details.
Can 33513 be reported when an arterial graft is also used?
For a mixed arterial-and-venous bypass, report the applicable arterial bypass code with the venous add-on code for the number of venous grafts. Code 33513 describes venous-only bypasses.
Is vein harvesting included in 33513?
Endoscopic vein harvesting may be separately reported with 33508 when performed. The operative record should support the harvesting method.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bypasses on both sides of the heart?
No. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for 33513; code selection reflects the number of coronary bypass targets, not a bilateral service.
What postoperative care is included in the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. The code also permits payment for an assistant at surgery, while co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
