About 34401: Iliac vein thrombectomy through leg incision
Open or catheter-assisted removal of clot from an iliac vein through a leg incision, typically performed for extensive venous thrombosis.
This operation removes thrombus from an iliac vein through a leg incision, using direct extraction, a catheter, or both. Vascular surgeons typically perform it in a hospital operating room for substantial venous clot burden, such as iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. The operative report should identify the treated vein, the leg incision used, and the method of clot removal.
Report 34401 when the documented target and approach match iliac-vein thrombectomy through a leg incision; use a different code when the operation involves another vein or an abdominal approach. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global 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. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

34401 billing questions
How is 34401 distinguished from 34421?
34401 describes iliac-vein thrombectomy through a leg incision. 34421 is the related code for thrombectomy involving the vena cava and iliac vein through an abdominal or retroperitoneal incision.
Can a catheter be used for the clot removal?
Yes. The service may involve direct removal, catheter-assisted removal, or both, provided the operative approach and target match this code.
Is related postoperative care separately reported?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period.
How is bilateral 34401 reported?
For bilateral performance, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
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.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are paid 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.
