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

What 33767 covers

A congenital cardiac surgeon creates a pathway from the superior vena cava to the pulmonary arteries so venous blood flows to both lungs. This is commonly a bidirectional Glenn-type operation in staged palliation for selected patients with single-ventricle physiology. It is performed in an operating room, generally by a congenital heart surgery team.

Choose this code when the operative report supports a superior vena cava-to-pulmonary artery shunt serving both lungs; the one-lung version is a different code. Documentation should identify the vessels connected and the extent of the shunt. CMS assigns 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 is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.
