Vascular surgery
About 35665: Nonvein iliofemoral bypass graft
Reports a surgical bypass using a nonvein conduit from an iliac artery to a femoral artery to reroute blood flow around diseased or obstructed vessels.
A vascular surgeon creates a new route for arterial blood between an iliac artery and a femoral artery, using a conduit other than vein. The operation is typically performed in an operating room for lower-extremity arterial disease when the chosen reconstruction connects these specific inflow and outflow sites. The operative report should identify the source artery, recipient artery, side, conduit, and bypass route so the service can be distinguished from other aortoiliac or femoral bypasses.
Select this code for the iliac-to-femoral route with a nonvein graft; a vein conduit or different origin or destination points to a different code. The 90-day global period includes 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 other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, payment is 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

35665 billing questions
When should 35665 be chosen instead of 35565?
Use 35665 for an iliac-to-femoral bypass using a nonvein conduit. The corresponding vein-conduit bypass is reported with 35565.
How does 35665 differ from 35663?
Both use an iliac artery as the bypass source, but 35665 ends at a femoral artery; 35663 connects one iliac artery to another.
What operative details support reporting this code?
Document the iliac origin, femoral destination, side, graft material, and completed bypass route. The conduit and both ends of the reconstruction distinguish this service from neighboring bypass codes.
How is bilateral reporting handled?
When the procedure is bilateral, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 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 reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
