E711 – Gastrectomy - after previous gastro-enterostomy
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This is an add-on fee payable in addition to `S134` (Gastroduodenostomy or gastrojejunostomy). It applies when the current procedure is complicated by a previous gastroenterostomy. This fee is claimed by the surgeon (suffix A).
When to Use
- Use E711 only when performing a gastrectomy in a patient who has a documented prior gastro-enterostomy.
- This code must be billed in conjunction with S134 to account for the increased technical complexity of operating on previously altered anatomy.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E711 as a standalone procedure will result in an automatic rejection, as it is strictly an add-on code to S134.
- Failing to document the specific nature of the previous gastro-enterostomy in the operative report poses a significant audit risk for this add-on fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure S134 is the primary procedure code on your claim, with E711 listed as the secondary code to trigger the additional payment.
