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

What 35371 covers

A vascular surgeon uses an open leg incision to remove obstructive plaque from a femoral, profunda femoris, or popliteal artery. A common example is open common femoral endarterectomy for symptomatic atherosclerotic disease; a patch may be used to close or enlarge the treated artery. The service is generally performed in a hospital operating room for lower-extremity revascularization.

Select this code when the documented open endarterectomy treats one of the specified arteries. The operative report should identify the artery and side, describe plaque removal, and document any patch repair. The patch is included in the service. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
