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

What 33519 covers

This add-on code identifies the venous portion of a combined coronary artery bypass operation when three venous grafts are used along with arterial grafting. A cardiothoracic surgeon typically performs the bypass in an operating room, using arterial conduits such as an internal thoracic artery and venous conduits such as saphenous vein. The code represents the three venous grafts, not the arterial graft count or the total number of bypass grafts.

Select this code from the number of venous grafts documented in the operative report, and report it with the primary arterial CABG code that reflects the arterial graft count. The record should support the conduits and grafts used. This is an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure's global period. It is not a standalone CABG code.
