About 35131: Direct groin artery defect repair
Reports direct surgical repair of an arterial defect in the groin, commonly involving the femoral artery, when the documented condition and site support this service.
A vascular surgeon performs open direct repair of an arterial defect in the groin, commonly involving the femoral artery. The service may address a localized aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm, with the surgeon repairing the affected vessel directly. It is generally performed in an operating room when the arterial condition requires surgical reconstruction; the operative report should identify the artery, the defect, and the repair performed.
Select this code for the groin-site defect repair, rather than the rupture-specific groin code when the artery is documented as ruptured. Documentation should make the site and condition clear and distinguish the repair from treatment of a traumatic arterial injury. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

35131 billing questions
How does this differ from 35132?
35131 is for a groin-site arterial defect repair. Use 35132 when the operative documentation identifies rupture of the groin artery.
What should the operative report identify?
Document the artery and groin site, the condition being repaired, and the direct repair performed. The record should distinguish a defect repair from a ruptured artery or traumatic injury.
How are bilateral procedures reported?
CMS pays bilateral reporting with modifier 50 at 150%. The record should support repair on both sides.
Does the 90-day global period include postoperative visits?
Yes. 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 payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires 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.
