About 35303: Arterial thromboendarterectomy
Open arterial rechanneling removes obstructive plaque to restore blood flow; report 35303 when the operative service matches this code’s arterial procedure.
This open vascular operation removes obstructive material from an artery to restore the vessel’s lumen and improve blood flow. Vascular surgeons typically perform it in a hospital operating room for clinically significant arterial narrowing, such as atherosclerotic disease associated with limb ischemia. The operative approach and treated artery are central to identifying the correct code within the 35301–35306 family.
Report 35303 when the documented operation matches its specific CPT descriptor; do not choose among sibling codes based on disease severity alone. The operative report should identify the artery and treated segment, the obstructive disease, and the work performed to restore flow. 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 the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others 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.

35303 billing questions
How do I choose 35303 over a nearby code in this family?
Use the CPT descriptor that matches the artery and segment documented in the operative report. The procedure’s severity alone does not determine which family code applies.
What documentation supports reporting 35303?
Document the treated artery and segment, the obstructive disease, and the operative steps used to restore the arterial lumen and blood flow.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period.
How is 35303 handled when another procedure is performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are paid at 50% under the standard multiple procedure reduction.
Can I report modifier 50 for bilateral treatment?
Yes. CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
