About 36832: Open arteriovenous fistula revision
Reports open surgical revision of a hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula when the access needs repair or reconstruction and thrombectomy is not performed.
This service covers open repair or reconfiguration of an existing arteriovenous fistula used for hemodialysis. A vascular surgeon or another surgeon experienced in dialysis access may revise a fistula to address a structural or functional problem, such as a narrowed segment or an aneurysmal area. The operation is performed in a surgical setting and is distinct from creating a new access or removing clot from the fistula as part of the revision.
Report 36832 when the operative work revises the existing fistula without thrombectomy; when revision includes thrombectomy, the related code is 36833. The operative report should identify the access, the problem treated, the open revision performed, and whether clot removal was part of the operation. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

36832 billing questions
How is 36832 different from 36833?
Use 36832 for open fistula revision without thrombectomy. When thrombectomy is performed as part of the revision, use 36833.
Can 36831 be reported with 36832 for clot removal?
36831 describes open thrombectomy without revision. When thrombectomy accompanies the open revision, 36833 is the corresponding code rather than separately reporting 36831 for that work.
What should the operative note document?
Document the existing dialysis fistula, the structural or functional problem, the open revision performed, and whether thrombectomy was included.
Can modifier 50 be used for a bilateral fistula revision?
CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. The descriptor or anatomy makes modifier 50 unsuitable.
How are assistant and co-surgeon services handled?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
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.
