E714 – Repair of entero-cutaneous fistula in conjunction with bowel resection
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This fee is payable for the repair of an entero-cutaneous fistula when performed in conjunction with a bowel resection. This is an add-on code and is claimed in addition to the fee for the primary bowel resection procedure.
When to Use
- Use E714 when you are performing a bowel resection (e.g., S162, S164) and must simultaneously excise or repair an entero-cutaneous fistula tract.
- Claim this code when the fistula repair is an integral part of the primary resection procedure but requires additional surgical time and complexity beyond the standard resection.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill E714 as a standalone procedure; it is strictly an add-on code and will be rejected if not submitted with a primary bowel resection code.
- Avoid billing E714 for simple debridement of a skin site; it is intended for the surgical repair of the fistula tract itself in conjunction with the bowel surgery.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the primary bowel resection code (e.g., S165) is listed first on the claim, followed by E714 to ensure the add-on logic triggers correctly.
