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

What 33875 covers

A cardiothoracic or vascular surgeon replaces a diseased portion of the descending thoracic aorta with a graft through an open operation, typically using a thoracic incision. Common indications include a descending thoracic aneurysm or dissection. The operation may use bypass support, but bypass is not required for reporting this graft procedure.

Select this code when the open graft repair involves the descending thoracic aorta; document the treated segment, the condition repaired, the graft reconstruction, and any bypass used. The 90-day global period includes 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 reduction. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.
