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

What 33781 covers

This code describes surgical correction of transposition of the great arteries that includes reconstruction and repair of an obstruction below the pulmonary valve. The obstruction can restrict blood flow from the right ventricle toward the pulmonary arteries. A congenital cardiac surgeon typically performs the operation in a hospital operating room as part of complex open-heart care for a patient with congenital heart disease.

Select the code when the operative report supports both the transposition reconstruction and repair of the subpulmonary obstruction. Document the congenital anatomy, the reconstruction performed, and the specific obstruction addressed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. 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% multiple-procedure payment reduction. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid. Report this as a single cardiac repair, not as a bilateral procedure; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
