About G0288: CTA reconstruction for surgical planning

Reports technical reconstruction of CTA images for surgical planning, such as mapping lower-extremity arterial anatomy before a vascular procedure.

G0288 covers postprocessing CTA image data to create reconstructions used to plan surgery, rather than acquisition of the CTA scan itself. A radiology department typically performs the technical reconstruction for a referring surgeon, often a vascular surgeon planning treatment of arterial disease or another vascular condition. A lower-extremity runoff study is a familiar planning context. The resulting reconstructions help show the anatomy relevant to the proposed procedure.

Report the service when CTA data are reconstructed for surgical planning, with documentation identifying the planning purpose and the reconstructed images produced. The code is technical-component-only: CMS assigns no physician work to it, and a separate code covers interpretation. The CTA examination and its interpretation should be supported and reported under the applicable imaging codes; G0288 represents the additional planning reconstruction service, not the scan itself.

G0288 billing questions

How is G0288 different from the CTA examination code?

The CTA code represents the imaging examination. G0288 represents reconstruction of CTA data for surgical planning, such as creating views to assess vascular anatomy before an operation.

Does G0288 include interpretation?

No. CMS classifies G0288 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.

What documentation supports reporting G0288?

Document that the CTA reconstruction was performed for surgical planning, the clinical planning purpose, and the reconstructed images generated.

Can G0288 be reported with a CTA examination on the same date?

It may accompany the CTA examination when the images are reconstructed for surgical planning. The record should distinguish this planning reconstruction from the CTA acquisition and support each reported service.

Is G0288 reported per image or per unit of time?

The code describes the CTA reconstruction service, not a time-based service. The documentation should identify the planning reconstruction performed rather than count individual images.

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.
