What 34711 covers

This code captures delayed placement of an additional proximal or distal endograft extension in a vessel after an endovascular aortic or iliac repair. The intervention extends the existing repair when another vessel requires an extension; it is not the code for an extension placed during the initial repair. Vascular surgeons and endovascular specialists typically perform the procedure in an operating room or hybrid suite, using imaging to guide device placement.

Report 34711 for each additional vessel beyond the first vessel represented by 34710. The record should identify the prior repair, the vessels treated, the delayed extension placement, and which vessel is the first versus each additional vessel. As an add-on code, 34711 must be billed with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure's global period. The code cannot stand alone; pair it with the applicable primary procedure and the first-vessel code when multiple vessels are treated.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

How does 34711 differ from 34710?

34710 represents delayed extension placement in the first vessel. Use 34711 for each additional vessel treated.

Can 34711 be billed by itself?

No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with a primary procedure. When more than one vessel is treated, report 34710 for the first vessel and 34711 for each additional vessel.

How is 34711 distinguished from 34709?

34711 describes delayed extension placement after the initial endovascular repair. 34709 is for extension placement as part of the endovascular repair itself.

What documentation supports additional units?

Document the vessels treated and the extension placed in each. The record should make clear which vessel is represented by 34710 and which additional vessel or vessels support 34711.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
