About 35683: Composite bypass graft, three or more segments
Report this add-on when an arterial bypass uses a composite graft constructed from three or more segments, alongside the primary bypass procedure.
This add-on describes the graft construction used during an arterial bypass when the composite graft comprises three or more segments. A vascular surgeon typically performs the bypass in an operating room, using the graft to route blood around an obstructed or diseased artery. The primary bypass code identifies the bypass procedure and its anatomic route; this code identifies the qualifying composite graft configuration.
Report it only with a primary bypass procedure, not as a stand-alone service. The operative report should support the bypass performed and document the graft construction, including the number of segments used. For example, a femoral-to-popliteal or femoral-to-tibial bypass may have a composite graft configuration; select the primary code for the documented route and use this add-on when the graft has three or more segments. CMS pays it within the primary procedure's global period.

35683 billing questions
Can 35683 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with a primary bypass procedure.
How is 35683 different from 35682?
35683 is the composite graft category for three or more segments; 35682 describes a composite graft using two veins.
What should the operative report document?
Document the bypass route and the graft construction, including the number of segments supporting selection of the three-or-more-segment category.
Is this code reported once for each graft segment?
It identifies the three-or-more-segment composite graft category; it is not a per-segment code.
Which code identifies the bypass route?
The primary bypass code identifies the route, such as femoral-to-popliteal or femoral-to-tibial. Report 35683 as the add-on when the graft configuration meets its segment criterion.
