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

What 33883 covers

A vascular or cardiothoracic surgeon uses catheter-based techniques to place a graft extension at the proximal end of a prior endovascular repair of the descending thoracic aorta. This may be needed when the original repair requires a longer proximal seal, such as for a persistent endoleak. The procedure is typically performed in an operating room or hybrid suite with imaging used to guide graft positioning.

Report this service for the delayed proximal extension procedure, rather than for the original thoracic endovascular repair or a distal extension. The operative report should identify the prior repair, the reason for extension, its proximal location, and the work performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeon billing are permitted; report participating surgeons under the applicable rules rather than as a team surgery.

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.
