Congenital heart surgery
About 33732: Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair
Reports surgical correction of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, redirecting affected veins toward the left atrium rather than systemic venous circulation.
This operation corrects a congenital connection in which one or more pulmonary veins drain to the right atrium or a systemic vein instead of the left atrium. A congenital cardiac surgeon typically performs the repair in an operating room, often using an intracardiac baffle or venous reconstruction to route the blood appropriately. The clinical setting may involve evaluation of a patient with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, sometimes identified with an associated atrial septal defect.
Select the code from the operative anatomy and the repair performed, not from the diagnosis alone. The record should identify the anomalous veins and their drainage, describe the rerouting or reconstruction, and explain any associated cardiac work. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including 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 others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

33732 billing questions
How does this differ from 33730?
33732 is used for repair of a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Code 33730 is the related repair for a total anomalous connection.
What operative details support reporting 33732?
Document which pulmonary veins drain anomalously, where they drain, and how the surgeon redirects or reconstructs their connection. The operative report should support a partial anomalous connection repair.
Can an associated atrial septal defect repair also be reported?
Review the operative work and applicable CPT instructions to determine whether a separately reportable defect repair was performed. Document distinct work rather than relying on the diagnosis alone.
Is modifier 50 appropriate?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
How does the multiple-procedure payment rule affect this repair?
When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.
What surgical-assistance rules apply?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and 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.
