E713 – Gastrectomy after previous partial gastrectomy
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
after previous partial gastrectomy
When to Use
- Use E713 when performing a completion gastrectomy on a patient who has previously undergone a partial gastrectomy (S122 or S123).
- Select this code specifically for the surgical removal of the remaining gastric remnant, distinguishing it from primary procedures like S125.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E713 alongside primary gastrectomy codes (S125) will trigger a rejection, as E713 is specifically for secondary procedures.
- Failure to document the previous partial gastrectomy in the operative report will lead to audit recovery, as the history is a prerequisite for this specific fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly describes the lysis of adhesions or reconstruction necessitated by the prior surgery to justify the complexity of the secondary procedure.
