About 34713: Percutaneous femoral access and closure
Reports percutaneous femoral artery access and closure for delivery of a large-bore endovascular prosthesis during an aortic or iliac repair.
Code 34713 represents percutaneous access through a femoral artery and closure of that access site for delivery of an endovascular prosthesis using a sheath 12 Fr or larger. Vascular surgeons and other endovascular specialists typically perform this work in the operating room or an endovascular suite during aortic or iliac endograft repair. Ultrasound guidance, when performed for the access, is included in the service.
Report 34713 only as an add-on with the primary endovascular repair; it is paid within that procedure’s global period. Documentation should support percutaneous femoral access, the large-bore sheath used for prosthesis delivery, and closure of the access site. Do not select it for open femoral exposure, which is represented by a different access code. For bilateral access, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150% of the single-side payment.

How is bilateral femoral access reported?
Report modifier 50 for bilateral access. CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150% of the single-side payment.
What documentation supports reporting 34713?
Document percutaneous femoral access, the sheath size used to deliver the prosthesis, and closure of the access site, along with the primary endovascular repair.
