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

What 34712 covers

This service covers catheter-based placement of enhanced fixation devices to secure an aortic endograft during endovascular repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm or dissection. The devices reinforce graft attachment to the aortic wall. Vascular surgeons and other physicians performing endovascular aortic repair typically deliver them in an operating room or hybrid suite, using imaging guidance as needed.

Report 34712 for the fixation-device delivery performed at the time of the aortic repair, not for placement of an extension graft or for the repair itself. Documentation should identify the repair, the fixation-device delivery, and its clinical purpose. The CMS global period is 90 days and includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeon reporting are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.
