What 35585 covers

A vascular surgeon creates a bypass from the femoral artery to a tibial or peroneal artery using a vein conduit, directing blood around an obstructed or severely diseased segment. The operation is generally performed in a hospital operating room for lower-extremity arterial disease when a distal target is needed to restore flow. The operative report should identify the inflow artery, the specific tibial or peroneal outflow artery, and the vein used as the bypass conduit.

Select this code when the bypass begins at the femoral artery, reaches a tibial or peroneal artery, and uses vein; a different origin, target, or conduit may point to a neighboring bypass code. Documentation should establish the bypass route, target vessel, conduit, and laterality. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For bilateral procedures reported with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
