E808

E808 – Neo-rectal pouch formation

OHIP Surgical Assists Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits

A surgical procedure for neo-rectal pouch formation, payable as an add-on to specific intestinal or rectal resections. It can be added to S169 or S171 as per page , or to S213 as per page .

When to Use

Use E808 when performing a J-pouch or similar neo-rectal pouch construction in conjunction with a total proctocolectomy (S169 or S171).
Use E808 when creating a reservoir during a rectal resection (S213) to restore intestinal continuity.

Common Pitfalls

Submitting E808 as a standalone claim will result in automatic rejection; it must be billed on the same claim as S169, S171, or S213.
Billing E808 without clear documentation of the pouch formation in the operative report is a significant audit risk, as it is an add-on code subject to strict verification.

Billing Tips

Ensure the primary procedure (S169, S171, or S213) is listed first on the claim to correctly trigger the add-on eligibility for E808.
