Congenital cardiac surgery
About 33677: Multiple VSD closure with band removal
Open repair closes multiple ventricular septal defects and removes a pulmonary artery band during the same operation, typically as staged congenital heart surgery.
A congenital cardiac surgeon uses this code for an operation that closes multiple ventricular septal defects and removes a previously placed pulmonary artery band. This combination may occur in staged treatment of an infant or child whose band was used to control excessive pulmonary blood flow before definitive repair. The procedure is performed in a hospital operating room and may involve open-heart surgical techniques.
Report the code when the operative record supports both closure of multiple VSDs and removal of the band during the same operation. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service.

33677 billing questions
How does this differ from 33675?
33677 includes removal of a pulmonary artery band along with closure of multiple VSDs. 33675 describes closure of multiple VSDs without that band-removal element.
Is removal of the pulmonary artery band separately reported?
Band removal is part of the service represented by 33677 when performed with closure of the multiple VSDs. Do not separately report that same removal as a stand-alone service for the combined operation.
When is 33688 a closer choice?
33688 describes closure of a single VSD with removal of a pulmonary artery band. Use 33677 when multiple VSDs are closed and the band is removed.
Can modifier 50 be used?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures performed in that session are paid at 50%.
What supports reporting 33677?
The operative report should establish that multiple VSDs were closed and a previously placed pulmonary artery band was removed in the same operation.
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.
