About 33895: Aortic coarctation stent repair without branch crossing
Reports endovascular stent repair of aortic coarctation when the stent does not cross a branch vessel, including imaging supervision and interpretation.
This code describes endovascular stent treatment of aortic coarctation when the stent can be placed without crossing a branch vessel. It is typically performed by an interventional cardiologist, vascular surgeon, or other specialist experienced in aortic catheter procedures, often in a hospital catheterization or hybrid procedure suite. The service includes radiological supervision and interpretation associated with the stent repair.
Choose this code based on the documented aortic anatomy and the stent’s relationship to branch vessels; a repair that crosses a branch vessel is represented by 33894. The procedure report should identify the coarctation, describe the access and stent deployment, and establish whether a branch vessel was crossed. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this anatomy. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

33895 billing questions
How is 33895 distinguished from 33894?
Use 33895 when the stent repair does not cross a branch vessel. Use 33894 when the repair crosses a branch vessel.
Can 33895 be reported for balloon angioplasty alone?
No. This code describes endovascular stent repair. Angioplasty of native or recurrent aortic coarctation without stent repair is represented by 33897.
Is imaging supervision and interpretation separately reported?
The imaging supervision and interpretation associated with the stent repair are included in the service.
What documentation supports choosing 33895?
The procedure report should describe the coarctation, stent deployment, and the relationship of the stent to nearby branch vessels, showing that no branch vessel was crossed.
Can modifier 50 be used for 33895?
No. The anatomy and descriptor make a bilateral adjustment inappropriate.
How does the 0-day global period affect same-day care?
Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When other procedures are performed in the same session, CMS applies 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.
