Endovascular surgery
About 34714: Open femoral access conduit creation
Reports open femoral artery exposure and conduit creation to deliver an endovascular prosthesis during a qualifying vascular repair.
The surgeon exposes the femoral artery through a groin incision and creates a conduit to accommodate delivery of an endovascular prosthesis. Vascular surgeons typically perform this access work in an operating room or hybrid suite when the planned device delivery requires surgically created arterial access. The service is distinct from access obtained percutaneously and from open exposure that does not include conduit creation.
Report 34714 as an add-on with the applicable primary endovascular repair, not as a stand-alone service. The operative note should identify the side, open exposure, conduit creation, and the primary repair performed. CMS treats payment as part of the primary procedure’s global period. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150% of the unilateral payment.

What operative documentation supports 34714?
Document the open femoral exposure, conduit creation, side, and the primary endovascular repair associated with the access work.
How is bilateral 34714 paid?
When the bilateral procedure is reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150% of the unilateral payment.
Is payment for 34714 separate from the primary procedure's global period?
