Vascular surgery
About 34051: Arterial clot removal procedure
Reports surgical removal of a clot from an artery; select this code when the operative service and treated artery meet its full CPT descriptor.
This service removes a clot obstructing arterial blood flow. Vascular surgeons typically perform it in an operating room when an arterial obstruction requires surgical treatment, such as an acute ischemic event. The operative report should identify the artery treated, the clot-removal work performed, and the extent of the service. Use the full CPT descriptor to confirm that the treated artery and procedure match this code.
Report the code for the documented procedure, not simply for a diagnosis of arterial thrombosis or embolism. 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 multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral reporting, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

34051 billing questions
How do I choose this code over 34001?
Check the complete CPT descriptors and match the code to the artery and procedure documented in the operative report. The CMS short descriptors alone do not distinguish the site.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
The operative report should identify the artery, the clot-removal procedure performed, and its extent. Include details that support the selected CPT descriptor and any separately reported procedures.
Does the code include routine postoperative care?
Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How is this code paid when other 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.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral treatment?
The CMS bilateral rule specifies modifier 50 for bilateral reporting, with payment at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with 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.
