E236 – Lateral canthopexy
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — OCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use E236 when performing a lateral canthopexy to stabilize the lateral canthal tendon for laxity or ectropion repair.
- Select E236 when the procedure is performed as a standalone surgical intervention for lateral canthal support.
Common Pitfalls
- Claiming E236 with E140 or E141 will result in an automatic rejection due to explicit billing restrictions.
- Failing to include E930 as an add-on when the canthopexy is performed in conjunction with other eyelid procedures results in missed revenue.
Billing Tips
- Ensure E930 is appended to the claim when E236 is performed alongside other ocular surgical procedures to capture the full allowable fee.
