About 33427: Congenital mitral valve repair
Open surgical repair of a congenitally abnormal mitral valve is reported when the surgeon reconstructs the valve during an operation using cardiopulmonary bypass.
This code represents open surgical repair of a congenitally abnormal mitral valve during an operation using cardiopulmonary bypass. A cardiac surgeon may reconstruct the valve to address congenital leaflet or supporting-structure abnormalities while preserving the patient's native valve. The service is typically performed in a hospital operating room for patients with congenital mitral valve disease; it is distinct from transcatheter repair and valve replacement.
Select the code based on the operation actually performed and documentation identifying the congenital mitral valve problem and repair. The operative report should describe the valve reconstruction and use of bypass. This major surgery 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 multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Report one service for the mitral repair; modifier 50 is not appropriate.

33427 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 33425 and 33426?
This code is for the congenital mitral valve repair service. Codes 33425 and 33426 describe other mitral valve repair approaches, distinguished by whether a prosthetic ring is used; select based on the documented operation and applicable descriptor.
When is 33430 reported instead?
Use 33430 when the mitral valve is replaced rather than repaired. This code represents reconstruction of the patient's native valve.
Can the surgeon report a separate preoperative visit or routine postoperative visits?
The global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. Those included services are not separately reported as routine care for this operation.
Can modifier 50 be used for this repair?
No. Report the mitral repair once; modifier 50 is not appropriate for this descriptor and anatomy.
When can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, while team surgery is not permitted.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
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.
