E784 – Hydrodistention of bladder - general anaesthetic
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — UROGENITAL AND URINARY SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This service is for the hydrodistention of the bladder, typically performed in conjunction with a primary cystoscopy procedure such as `Z606`. The service must be rendered under general anaesthetic.
When to Use
- Use E784 as an add-on code when performing therapeutic bladder hydrodistention for Interstitial Cystitis or Bladder Pain Syndrome during a primary cystoscopy procedure like Z606.
- Use E784 when the procedure is specifically performed under general anaesthetic, as this is a mandatory requirement for the code's validity.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E784 as a standalone procedure will result in rejection; it must be submitted on the same claim as a primary cystoscopy code such as Z606 or Z607.
- Failure to document the use of general anaesthetic in the operative report is a common audit risk that can lead to the recovery of the E784 fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the primary procedure (e.g., Z606) is listed first on the claim to establish the surgical context, followed by E784 as the secondary procedure.
