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

What 35539 covers

A vascular surgeon routes a vein graft from the aorta to a femoral artery to bypass obstructed inflow and improve blood supply to one lower extremity. The operation is generally performed in a hospital operating room for significant aortoiliac occlusive disease, such as ischemia associated with rest pain or tissue loss. The operative report should establish the aortic origin, the single femoral outflow target, and use of a vein conduit.

Select this code when the documented reconstruction has one femoral target; an aortic reconstruction with two femoral outflows is distinguished by code 35540. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the following 90 days. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. CMS lists bilateral reporting with modifier 50 at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
