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

What 35606 covers

A vascular surgeon creates a new route from the carotid artery to the subclavian artery using a non-vein conduit, commonly a prosthetic graft. The operation can restore flow with proximal subclavian occlusive disease causing arm ischemia or vertebral steal, or preserve circulation when the subclavian origin must be covered during aortic repair. It is generally performed in a hospital operating room.

Report this code for the completed carotid-to-subclavian bypass using a non-vein conduit; a vein conduit follows a different code. The operative report should identify the inflow and outflow arteries, conduit, laterality, and reason for revascularization. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others at 50%. 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.
