Our doctor performs an open aortoiliac closure with creation of a conduit for delivery of endovascular aortic valve prosthesis via retroperitoneal incision. The only code I can find to use is 34833. I'm skeptical about using that code because it states "delivery of aortic or iliac endovascular prosthesis" this is actually a cardiac endovascular prosthesis. Should I use an unlisted code??? thoughts please.

You may want to review 0256T & 0257T - for these types of procedures. Most of these procedures are classified as Inpatient Only and will be replaced with permanent CPT codes for 2013 but will remain Inpatient Only.

We are not billing out the procedure code but rather we are performing only the counduit for entrance of the device
