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

What 35511 covers

A vascular surgeon creates a bypass from one subclavian artery to the other using a vein graft. The operation provides a route for blood around disease affecting subclavian flow and is performed in an operating room. The operative report should identify both arterial connections and the vein conduit; the graft’s destination distinguishes this procedure from bypasses ending in the brachial, axillary, or vertebral artery.

Report 35511 for the completed subclavian-to-subclavian bypass, using the operative findings to confirm the inflow and outflow arteries. CMS assigns a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. If other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%; a single graft connecting arteries on opposite sides should not be mistaken for two bypasses. An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and CMS does not permit team surgery for this code.
