E051 – Silicone rod insertion - each additional
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Silicone rod insertion - each additional
When to Use
- Use E051 when performing a multi-level or multi-tendon silicone rod insertion procedure where the primary code R554 covers the first rod.
- Apply this code for each subsequent silicone rod inserted beyond the first one during the same operative session.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E051 as a standalone procedure without an accompanying R554 will result in an automatic rejection.
- Attempting to bill E051 for multiple rods without clearly documenting the distinct anatomical locations or tendons involved increases audit risk for unbundling.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the primary code R554 is billed first, followed by E051 with the appropriate number of units corresponding to the additional rods inserted.
