Vascular surgery
About 35522: Axillary-to-brachial vein bypass
Open vein-graft bypass from the axillary artery to the brachial artery reroutes upper-extremity blood flow around an obstructed segment.
A vascular surgeon creates a vein-graft route from the axillary artery to the brachial artery to restore blood flow to the arm when disease obstructs the native arterial pathway. The operation is generally performed in a hospital or other surgical facility for patients with upper-extremity ischemia from arterial occlusive disease. The documented inflow and outflow sites distinguish this operation from bypasses beginning at the subclavian artery or ending in the forearm.
Report the code for the axillary-to-brachial bypass, documenting the side, target vessels, conduit, indication, and operative work. A separately performed vein harvest may be reported with 35500 when applicable. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 identifies bilateral work and is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

35522 billing questions
How is this different from 35512?
This code describes a bypass originating at the axillary artery and ending at the brachial artery. Code 35512 is for a subclavian-to-brachial bypass.
When would 35500 be reported with this bypass?
When a separate upper-extremity vein harvest for the bypass is performed and reportable, 35500 may be reported with the bypass.
What operative details support code selection?
Document the side, axillary inflow, brachial outflow, vein conduit, indication, and bypass performed. Those vessel endpoints distinguish this code from nearby bypass configurations.
How is bilateral work reported?
Report bilateral work with modifier 50; CMS payment for the bilateral procedure is 150%.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires 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.
