Add-on codes may not be reported as a stand-alone and must be billed when performed in conjunction with the primary service or procedure. Medicare does not make separate payment for add-on code 33225 in the ASC setting.

• A physician or an auxiliary person employed by and under the direct supervision of that physician may provide, with or without the support of the manufacturer’s representative, analysis and programming of a patient’s medical product or device “incident to” the physician’s other services performed in the office setting. A patient or his payer should not be billed for analysis and programming services performed at the direction of the physician by a manufacturer’s representative. Contact your MAC or other payer for any questions regarding coverage, coding and payment.

”NA” expresses that Medicare has no payment associated with those codes in the ASC setting as they do not designate ASCs as an appropriate site of service for those procedures. Some private payers may reimburse these procedures in an ASC according to their policies and contracts with your program. Please verify with your professional coding and billing staff for this information.
