Vascular surgery
About 35883: Femoral anastomosis revision, synthetic graft
Reports open revision of a femoral artery connection to a synthetic bypass graft, commonly to correct narrowing or another anastomotic problem.
A vascular surgeon uses this code for open revision of the connection between a femoral artery and a synthetic lower-extremity bypass graft. A typical reason is narrowing at the graft-to-artery junction, such as stenosis associated with intimal hyperplasia. The procedure is performed in an operating room; it is distinct from simply exploring a limb vessel or removing clot from a graft without revising the connection.
Report this code when the operative record supports revision of a femoral anastomosis involving a nonautogenous graft; a vein graft uses a different code. Documentation should identify the graft material, anastomosis site, the problem treated, and the revision performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.

35883 billing questions
How do I distinguish this code from 35884?
The graft material determines the choice: this code is for a nonautogenous, such as synthetic, graft; 35884 is for an autogenous vein graft.
When is this more appropriate than a graft thrombectomy code?
Use this code when the surgeon revises the femoral anastomosis. Clot removal without that anastomotic revision is a different service.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should identify the femoral anastomosis, the graft as nonautogenous, the defect or narrowing addressed, and the revision performed.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral work?
CMS lists this as a bilateral procedure; reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
