E730 – Oesophageal resection with reconstruction
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use E730 exclusively as an add-on to S090 when performing a total thoracic oesophageal resection that includes a formal reconstruction procedure.
- Apply this code when the reconstruction involves complex tissue mobilization or anastomosis that is distinct from the primary resection fee of S090.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E730 as a standalone procedure will result in an automatic rejection; it must be submitted on the same claim as S090.
- Attempting to use E730 with other oesophageal codes outside of the S090 mandate is a common audit trigger for incorrect code pairing.
- Failing to link the reconstruction details in the operative report to the specific add-on fee can lead to recovery during a post-payment audit.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the claim submission sequence lists S090 first, followed by E730, to satisfy the dependency requirement in the OHIP claims processing system.
- If the procedure qualifies for after-hours premiums (E409/E410), apply the percentage increase to both S090 and E730 to maximize the procedural fee recovery.
