About 35011: Direct upper-extremity artery repair
Direct repair of an upper-extremity artery defect is reported when the surgeon closes a localized arterial wall injury without replacing the vessel segment.
Code 35011 represents direct operative closure of a defect in an artery of the upper extremity. Vascular surgeons typically perform this repair in an operating room for a localized arterial wall injury or defect, including an injury encountered during another operation. The operative report should identify the artery and describe the defect and repair. A repair for rupture is a different circumstance represented by 35013.
Select the code based on the artery’s location and the repair performed. Documentation should support the upper-extremity site and direct repair of the defect. This major surgery code includes 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% reduction. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

35011 billing questions
When should 35013 be considered instead?
Use 35013 when the upper-extremity arterial repair is for rupture. Code 35011 describes direct repair of an arterial defect in that region.
What documentation supports 35011?
Document the artery and upper-extremity location, the defect being repaired, and the direct repair performed. The operative report should make the reason for choosing this repair clear.
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 bilateral repair reported?
When the qualifying procedure is performed bilaterally, report modifier 50. CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeons require 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.
