Cardiac surgery
About 33506: Anomalous coronary artery translocation repair
Reports surgical correction of an anomalous coronary artery by moving its origin, typically reimplanting it at an appropriate site on the aorta.
A congenital cardiac surgeon uses this operation to correct an anomalous coronary artery origin by mobilizing the vessel and moving its origin to an appropriate aortic location. It is used for selected congenital coronary artery arrangements, including an artery arising from the opposite aortic sinus when the surgeon chooses translocation rather than unroofing an intramural segment. The service is generally performed in a hospital operating room as part of cardiac surgery.
Select the code from the documented coronary origin and the operative technique; the report should identify the anomalous anatomy and describe the translocation or reimplantation. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

33506 billing questions
How does 33506 differ from 33507?
33506 is for correcting the anomalous origin by translocation. 33507 describes repair by unroofing an intramural coronary segment; use the technique documented in the operative report.
How does 33506 differ from 33504?
33504 addresses an anomalous coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery and translocates that origin. 33506 is for translocation of an anomalous coronary origin in a different anatomic setting.
What documentation supports reporting 33506?
The operative report should identify the coronary artery's anomalous origin and describe mobilization and translocation or reimplantation of its origin.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
How are assistants and co-surgeons handled?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation; team surgery 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.
