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

What 35901 covers

This operation removes infected vascular graft material located in the neck to address infection involving the graft. Vascular surgeons typically perform it in a hospital operating room, often when a patient has a diagnosed infection involving a vascular graft in the neck. The operative report should make clear that the graft being excised is at the neck site and describe the removal performed.

Select this code by the location of the infected graft, not simply the incision or the patient's symptoms. The record should identify the graft infection and document the neck-site operative work. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
