E052 – Tendon graft - each additional
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Tendon graft - each additional
When to Use
- Use E052 when performing multiple tendon grafts during a single operative session, billing R559 for the first graft and E052 for each subsequent graft.
- Apply E052 when a complex reconstruction requires harvesting and grafting of multiple distinct tendons beyond the primary graft covered by R559.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E052 as a standalone procedure without an associated primary graft code like R559 will result in an automatic rejection.
- Attempting to bill E052 for multiple segments of a single continuous tendon graft is incorrect; it is intended for distinct, separate graft procedures.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly delineates each distinct tendon graft site to justify the quantity of E052 units claimed beyond the primary R559.
