What 34717 covers
This add-on describes placement of an iliac branch endoprosthesis on one side during endovascular repair involving an aortoiliac or iliac endograft. The branch device extends treatment into the internal iliac artery while maintaining a pathway to the external iliac artery. Vascular surgeons typically perform the work in an operating room or endovascular suite to treat iliac aneurysmal disease while preserving pelvic circulation. The code includes the associated catheterization, vascular access, imaging guidance, and radiological supervision and interpretation specified for the branch-device work.
Report 34717 with the qualifying primary endovascular repair, such as an aorto-uni-iliac, aorto-bi-iliac, or iliac-iliac endograft procedure. The operative report should identify the treated side, the branch endoprosthesis, its extension into the internal and external iliac arteries, and the associated primary repair. CMS classifies this as an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure, and payment falls within that procedure’s global period.
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.

34717 billing questions
When should 34717 be chosen instead of 34718?
Use 34717 for unilateral iliac branch endoprosthesis placement associated with a primary aortoiliac or iliac endograft repair. Code 34718 is for the branch-device repair when it is not associated with placement of an aortoiliac endograft.
Can 34717 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with the qualifying primary endovascular repair.
Are access, catheterization, and imaging reported separately?
The work associated with the iliac branch device—including its specified access, catheterization, imaging guidance, and radiological supervision and interpretation—is included in 34717.
What should the operative report document?
Document the side treated, the branch endoprosthesis placement and its internal and external iliac extensions, and the associated primary endograft repair.
How does the global-period payment work?
CMS treats 34717 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period; it is not billed as a standalone service.
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.
