E232 – Medial canthal tendon fixation to bone
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — OCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Medial canthal tendon fixation to bone. This procedure is listed under 'Y. Ocular and Aural Surgical Procedures' and 'OCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES' in the Schedule of Benefits. General rules for surgical procedures, assistants, and anaesthetists apply.
When to Use
- Use E232 as the primary procedure code when performing an isolated medial canthal tendon fixation to bone for traumatic avulsion or telecanthus correction.
- Use E232 when the fixation is the sole or major surgical procedure performed during the operative session.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E232 in addition to another major ocular procedure will trigger a rejection or audit; use E233 instead for secondary or concurrent procedures.
- Failing to recognize that E232 is a standalone fee and attempting to unbundle it with other orbital or eyelid reconstruction codes will result in payment recovery.
Billing Tips
- If performing medial canthal tendon fixation alongside a more complex orbital reconstruction, bill the major procedure at 100% and use E233 for the tendon fixation component.
