About 34832: Open aortofemoral aneurysm repair
Reports open repair of an infrarenal aortic aneurysm or dissection using a prosthetic graft with femoral outflow, including associated iliac aneurysm repair when applicable.
A vascular surgeon uses an open approach to repair an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm or dissection with a prosthetic graft extending to the femoral artery or arteries. The procedure may also address an associated iliac artery aneurysm. It is performed in an operating room, typically in a hospital, and is distinct from an aorto-aortic tube graft or a graft ending at the iliac arteries.
Select this code when the operative report supports open repair and an aortofemoral graft configuration. Document the pathology treated, open approach, graft configuration, and anastomosis sites. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment are permitted; team-surgery payment is not.

34832 billing questions
When should this be selected instead of 34830 or 34831?
Choose 34832 when the open repair uses an aortofemoral prosthetic configuration. Codes 34830 and 34831 describe tube and aortoiliac configurations, respectively.
Does this code describe an aortofemoral bypass for occlusive disease?
No. This code describes open repair of an infrarenal aortic aneurysm or dissection. A bypass for occlusive disease is a different service, such as 35646 when its requirements are met.
Can modifier 50 be used for a graft to both femoral arteries?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; the descriptor or anatomy already accounts for the service.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made, and co-surgeons are permitted. Team-surgery payment is not permitted for this code.
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 are reduced when performed in the same session.
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.
