Thoracic surgery
About 31775: Bronchial sleeve resection and reconstruction
Reports bronchial reconstruction with sleeve resection, typically when a diseased bronchial segment is removed and the remaining airway is reconnected.
This service involves removing a segment of bronchus and reconstructing the airway, commonly by joining the remaining bronchial ends. A thoracic surgeon may perform it for a localized bronchial tumor or other focal disease when sleeve resection can remove the affected airway while preserving more lung than a larger lung resection. The operation is performed in a surgical setting and may involve open or minimally invasive thoracic techniques.
Report the code when the operative work includes bronchial sleeve resection and reconstruction, not for bronchial repair or grafting without that resection. The operative report should identify the bronchial site, the segment removed, and the reconstruction performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

31775 billing questions
How does this differ from 31770?
Use 31775 for bronchial reconstruction that includes sleeve resection. Code 31770 represents bronchial repair or grafting without that sleeve-resection service.
What operative documentation supports 31775?
The operative report should describe the bronchial segment removed and how the remaining airway was reconstructed. A diagnosis alone does not establish that sleeve resection and reconstruction were performed.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral bronchial work?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; its descriptor or anatomy does not support modifier 50.
How does the multiple-procedure rule affect payment?
When this service is performed with other procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code under the CMS facts provided.
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.
