Interventional cardiology
About 33902: Unilateral abnormal pulmonary artery revascularization
Reports catheter-based revascularization of one abnormal pulmonary artery on one side, such as treatment of a pulmonary artery stenosis.
Code 33902 represents catheter-based treatment to restore flow through one abnormal pulmonary artery on one side. It is used for interventions such as balloon dilation or stent treatment of a narrowed pulmonary artery, often in patients with congenital heart disease or narrowing after prior surgery. An interventional cardiologist, commonly a congenital heart specialist, performs the procedure in a cardiac catheterization setting.
Select this code when one abnormal vessel on one side is treated; document the vessel, laterality, abnormality, and intervention performed. The bilateral code for abnormal vessels is 33903, and 33904 is used for each additional treated vessel when applicable. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

33902 billing questions
When should I choose 33902 rather than 33900?
Both describe unilateral pulmonary artery revascularization, but 33902 is for an abnormal vessel; 33900 is for a non-native vessel. Use the category supported by the operative findings and documentation.
What code applies when abnormal vessels on both sides are treated?
Use 33903 for bilateral treatment of abnormal pulmonary arteries. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for 33902.
How do I report treatment of an additional vessel?
Code 33904 is the add-on code for each additional vessel treated. Document the number of vessels and the work performed on each.
Is same-day preoperative or postoperative care separately included?
No. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care for this procedure.
When is assistant-at-surgery payment allowed?
CMS payment for an assistant at surgery requires documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this service.
