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

What 35671 covers

A vascular surgeon uses this procedure to route blood around an obstructed segment of the lower-extremity arterial circulation, connecting the popliteal artery to a tibial or peroneal artery with a conduit other than vein, often a prosthetic graft. It is used for limb revascularization when disease affects the arterial route to the lower leg or foot and the selected bypass begins at the popliteal artery and reaches one of these distal vessels. The operation is generally performed in a hospital operating room.

Select the code based on the bypass endpoints and conduit documented in the operative report. Documentation should identify the popliteal inflow site, the tibial or peroneal outflow vessel, and use of a non-vein conduit; an autogenous vein bypass is coded differently. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
