About 33904: Additional pulmonary artery revascularization vessel
Report this add-on for each additional pulmonary artery vessel treated during percutaneous revascularization beyond the vessel represented by the primary code.
This add-on represents treatment of an additional pulmonary artery vessel during a catheter-based revascularization. It may be used in cases such as branch pulmonary artery narrowing in patients with congenital heart disease or after prior repair. The interventional cardiologist or another physician performing the catheter procedure documents the vessels treated and the revascularization performed.
Report 33904 with the applicable primary code from 33900–33903, which describes the first vessel and distinguishes native connections and unilateral or bilateral treatment. Use one unit for each additional vessel treated beyond that primary vessel. The procedure report should identify the treated vessels and support the vessel count and primary-code selection. CMS classifies 33904 as an add-on: it is billed only with a primary procedure, and payment is within that procedure’s global period.

33904 billing questions
Which primary code is reported with 33904?
Use the applicable code from 33900–33903 for the primary vessel. Those codes distinguish normal versus abnormal native connections and unilateral versus bilateral treatment.
How many units of 33904 should be reported?
Report one unit for each additional pulmonary artery vessel treated beyond the vessel represented by the primary code.
Can 33904 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure, with payment within that procedure’s global period.
What documentation supports an additional-vessel unit?
The procedure report should identify each pulmonary artery vessel treated and describe the revascularization performed, supporting the count beyond the primary vessel.
How does 33904 differ from codes 33900–33903?
Codes 33900–33903 describe the primary vessel and classify the native connections and laterality. Code 33904 captures each additional vessel treated.
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.
