The national PFS baseline was $760.62 for CPT 33895 in the Office (non-facility) setting and $760.62 in a facility under the Q2 2024 Physician Fee Schedule, effective April 2024. These are the national allowed amounts before locality (GPCI) adjustment; sequestration is excluded.

National Q2 2024, GPCI 1.000. Each % applies before the 80/20 split and sequestration.

Is $760.62 what a practice actually receives?

It's the national allowed amount—the starting point. Medicare pays 80% of it ($608.50) and the patient owes 20% coinsurance ($152.12). Sequestration trims Medicare's share by about 2%, your locality's GPCIs scale the total up or down, and the expected-payment calculator applies all three. That payment is practice revenue that covers staff, space, equipment, and billing. It isn't the clinician's take-home pay. The practice-expense RVU above is CMS's estimate of that overhead share.

What's the non-participating amount for 33895?

$722.59 in the Office (non-facility) setting—95% of the $760.62 participating fee schedule amount above. A participating provider takes the fee schedule amount as payment in full on every claim. A non-participating provider is paid this reduced amount, but chooses claim by claim whether to accept assignment. See participating vs non-participating.

What's the limiting charge for 33895?

$830.98 in the Office (non-facility) setting—the ceiling on what a non-participating provider can bill the patient on an unassigned claim. That's 109.25% of the $760.62 amount above. The non-participating amount is 95% of the fee schedule rate ($722.59), and the statutory cap is 115% of that. See limiting charge.

Which billing rules and modifiers apply? Copy link

CMS indicators that apply to 33895: GLOB DAYS 000 (same day only) · MULT PROC 2 (standard reduction applies).

Global surgery period

Same day only

GLOB DAYS

000

The fee covers pre-operative and post-operative work on the day of the procedure only—there is no follow-up window afterward. A visit the next day is separately payable.

Multiple procedures

Standard reduction applies

MULT PROC

2

When billed with other procedures on the same date, the highest-valued one is paid at 100% and the next four at 50% each.

-51 depends on the other codes on the same claim, so it's a claim-level number rather than a per-code one.

Assistant at surgery, only if documented: -80/81/82 $121.70 · -AS $103.44. Not payable with 33895: -26/TC · -50 · -62 · -66.

Modifier amounts are derived, not a CMS column: Localis applies the standard MPFS percentage to the national Office (non-facility) amount. Check them against the Claims Processing Manual. If documented means paid only when documentation of medical necessity is submitted. Locality-adjusted amounts.

Why would a Medicare claim for 33895 be denied or paid less?

These come from CMS indicators on this page, not general billing advice.

Payer-specific coverage and documentation rules live outside these files, so a claim that clears every check here can still be denied on other grounds.

What to check (5)

Four published payment rules can change what 33895 allows on a claim: facility-only practice-expense pricing, the same-day global package, the standard multiple-procedure reduction and documentation-restricted assistant-at-surgery payment. Each is a legitimate reason for a paid amount to differ from the fee-schedule amount on this page.

  • Check the place of service: CMS marks this code facility-only (an NA in the non-facility NA indicator) and developed no Office (non-facility) practice-expense RVUs for it; the file’s non-facility column repeats the facility value.
  • Check the visit date: this code carries no follow-up window, so a related visit the day after the procedure is separately payable and should not have bundled.
  • Rank the claim’s procedure lines before calling this one short-paid: billed with a higher-valued procedure on the same date, its allowed amount is $380.31 instead of $760.62 (national, GPCI 1.000). That is the rule, not a payer error.
  • Check for documentation on file before appealing an assistant-at-surgery denial: payment on the -80 or -AS line is restricted for this procedure unless medical necessity is established.
  • Reprice the line against the release, locality, setting, modifier and participation status that applied to the date of service before treating any difference as an underpayment.

How each change is split
The chips under each change split the Office (non-facility) move into the conversion factor's share, which CMS sets for every code, and 33895's own work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs. CMS doesn't publish this split; we derive it from each release's RVUs and conversion factor. We apply the new conversion factor to the earlier RVUs first, then price each RVU change at the new conversion factor. Another order would move a few cents between columns, but every total stays the same.
When does this rate change?

CMS publishes a fee schedule release every quarter (January, April, July, October), and each is versioned here. See what changed each release, or get an email when a new release moves rates.

The 33895 rate last moved in Q1 2026. See its rate history.
