E716 – Gastroduodenostomy or gastrojejunostomy plus vagotomy
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This is an add-on surgical procedure for a vagotomy performed in addition to a gastroduodenostomy or gastrojejunostomy (S134). The fee for this service is added to the fee for the primary procedure.
When to Use
- Use E716 as an add-on code specifically when performing a truncal or selective vagotomy during the same operative session as a gastroduodenostomy or gastrojejunostomy (S134).
- Apply this code when the clinical requirement for gastric acid reduction necessitates the addition of a vagotomy to the primary drainage procedure (S134).
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E716 without a corresponding S134 claim on the same date will result in an automatic rejection by OHIP.
- Attempting to bill E716 with other gastric surgical codes that do not explicitly include the S134 primary procedure will lead to audit flags for incorrect code pairing.
Billing Tips
- Ensure both S134 and E716 are submitted on the same claim record to satisfy the mandatory dependency requirement for this add-on code.
