I need to know what code to use for a left brachioaxillary arteriovenous graft placement when they use tunnel a 4 X 7 atrium graft to connect the two.

Would this be 36821 or 36825?

Anyone performing these procedures I would love to email you and get some help. :)

Thanks,

Hi Donna~

As long as the graft is harvested from the patient, 36825 would be your code of choice. 36825 is used if it was a direct end-to-end anastomosis - no graft involvement.

Hope this helps!
