Vascular surgery
About 35702: Upper extremity artery exploration
Report this service when a surgeon operatively explores an upper extremity artery for assessment and does not proceed with surgical repair.
A vascular or trauma surgeon uses an open operative approach to expose and assess an artery in the arm when the clinical concern requires direct evaluation, such as suspected arterial injury or unexplained impaired blood flow. The service is performed in an operative setting. This code describes exploration that ends without surgical repair of the artery; it is not the code for a repair performed after the vessel is exposed.
Select the code based on the artery’s upper-extremity location and the service actually completed. The operative report should identify the artery, the reason for exploration, the findings, and whether repair followed. 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 the others at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, payment is at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

35702 billing questions
When is this code appropriate instead of an artery repair code?
Use it when the surgeon explores an upper extremity artery but does not perform surgical repair. If the operation proceeds to repair, report the repair service rather than this exploration-only code.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
Document the upper extremity artery explored, the clinical reason for operative assessment, the findings, and that no surgical repair followed.
How is bilateral exploration reported?
CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; modifier 50 is paid at 150%.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative care?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and the other procedures at 50%.
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.
