What 33771 covers
This operation repairs transposition of the great arteries in a patient who also has a ventricular septal defect, with the surgeon surgically enlarging the defect as part of the repair. It is performed by a congenital cardiac surgeon, typically in an operating room with cardiopulmonary bypass, for congenital heart disease requiring this repair strategy. The operative report should identify the transposition and VSD and describe the enlargement performed during the repair.
Report this code when surgical enlargement of the VSD is performed as part of the transposition repair; use 33770 when the repair does not include that enlargement. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one 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; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

33771 billing questions
How does 33771 differ from 33770?
33771 is for transposition repair that includes surgical enlargement of the VSD. Use 33770 for the corresponding repair without that enlargement.
Should the VSD enlargement be reported separately?
The enlargement is part of the repair represented by 33771. The operative report should make clear that it was performed as part of the transposition repair.
What documentation supports 33771?
Document the transposition, the VSD, and the surgical enlargement performed during the repair. The operative report should distinguish this work from a repair without VSD enlargement.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect 33771?
When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. The bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
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.
