Thoracic surgery
About 31755: Tracheoplasty for tracheopharyngeal fistula
Reports operative tracheal reconstruction to repair a tracheopharyngeal fistula, a documented abnormal connection between the trachea and pharynx.
This service involves surgically reconstructing the trachea as part of repairing a fistulous connection between the trachea and pharynx. A thoracic surgeon or otolaryngologist may perform the operation in a hospital operating room. The operative report should identify the fistula’s location and describe the tracheal repair, reconstruction, and any associated work performed.
Select this code when the operative service addresses a tracheopharyngeal fistula, rather than tracheal reconstruction for another anatomic site or for stenosis. Documentation should support the fistula and the work required to repair it. CMS treats the procedure as major surgery with a 90-day global period, including 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 the others at 50%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

31755 billing questions
When should I choose 31755 instead of 31750 or 31760?
Use 31755 when the tracheoplasty is performed to repair a tracheopharyngeal fistula. Codes 31750 and 31760 describe tracheoplasty by cervical or intrathoracic location, respectively.
How does 31755 differ from tracheal stenosis reconstruction?
This code is for repair involving a tracheopharyngeal fistula. Codes 31780 and 31781 are considered when the operative service instead involves resection and reconstruction for tracheal stenosis.
What documentation supports reporting 31755?
The operative report should document the abnormal connection between the trachea and pharynx, its location, and the tracheal reconstruction performed to repair it.
What postoperative care is included?
CMS assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How are assistants and co-surgeons handled?
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.
