About 33519: Coronary bypass with three venous grafts
Reports three venous grafts used during coronary artery bypass surgery that also includes arterial grafting, alongside the appropriate arterial bypass code.
This add-on code identifies the venous portion of a combined coronary artery bypass operation when three venous grafts are used along with arterial grafting. A cardiothoracic surgeon typically performs the bypass in an operating room, using arterial conduits such as an internal thoracic artery and venous conduits such as saphenous vein. The code represents the three venous grafts, not the arterial graft count or the total number of bypass grafts.
Select this code from the number of venous grafts documented in the operative report, and report it with the primary arterial CABG code that reflects the arterial graft count. The record should support the conduits and grafts used. This is an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure's global period. It is not a standalone CABG code.

33519 billing questions
Which primary code is reported with 33519?
Report the arterial CABG code that matches the number of arterial grafts, such as 33533 for one arterial graft or 33534 for two. Code 33519 captures the three venous grafts.
Does 33519 mean three grafts total?
No. It represents three venous grafts in a combined arterial-and-venous bypass operation; the arterial graft count is represented by the primary CABG code.
How is 33519 different from 33512?
33519 is for three venous grafts used with arterial grafting. 33512 describes a three-vein-graft CABG without the arterial-grafting combination represented by 33519.
Can 33519 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with the appropriate primary arterial CABG procedure. CMS pays it within that primary procedure's global period.
What documentation supports the three-graft level?
The operative report should identify the venous grafts used and support that three venous grafts were placed. It should also document the arterial grafting represented by the separately reported primary code.
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.
