Vascular surgery
About 35226: Direct lower-extremity vessel repair
Reports direct surgical repair of a blood vessel in the lower extremity, such as during treatment of a traumatic or operative vascular injury.
This service covers direct surgical repair of a blood vessel in the lower extremity, such as repairing a vessel injured by trauma or during another operation. A vascular, trauma, or other surgeon performs the repair in an operative setting. The operative report should identify the vessel and site, describe the injury or defect, and explain the direct repair performed.
Select this code when the documented approach is direct repair rather than reconstruction using a vein graft or another graft. It has a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. Modifier 50 reports bilateral procedures and pays at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

35226 billing questions
When is this code selected instead of a graft-repair code?
Use this code when the operative documentation supports direct repair of a lower-extremity vessel. Repair using a vein graft or another graft points to a graft-repair code instead.
How does the lower-extremity site differ from 35206 or 35207?
This code is for a lower-extremity vessel. Code 35206 is for an upper-extremity vessel, while 35207 specifies a vessel in the hand or finger.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
The operative report should identify the repaired vessel and lower-extremity site, describe the defect or injury, and establish that the repair was direct rather than graft-based.
How is bilateral repair reported?
For bilateral procedures, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
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.
