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

What 34718 covers

This code covers deployment of an iliac branch endoprosthesis to treat an additional iliac vessel during endovascular aneurysm repair. The branched device is used to exclude an iliac aneurysm while maintaining blood flow into the internal iliac artery when that branch is treated. Vascular surgeons and other physicians performing endovascular repair typically provide the service in a hospital or other facility setting. The additional-vessel service may be performed on the opposite side from the initial repair when bilateral anatomy requires branch devices on both sides.

Report this code with 34717 for each additional vessel treated; 34717 represents the initial vessel. The operative report should identify the vessels treated and document deployment of the additional iliac branch endoprosthesis. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For procedures in the same session, CMS applies the standard multiple-procedure reduction: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.
