Wiki Harvested but unused SVG for CABG

[Nicole0108@att.net]

The harvesting of the SVG for CABG is the add-on code 33508. If the CABG is aborted due to complications but the SVG was harvested, what code can we bill in place of the 33508, as there is now not a qualifying code for this add-on?

What did you end up billing on this one? We had a similar case and billed 37799 with comparative code 33508.

I did not end up billing for it, but I will try that in future, thank you! It's worth a shot! Did you get paid for the 37799?

We did. It was VA insurance though.
