E822 – Ureteroscopy to upper third of ureter or renal pelvis
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — UROGENITAL AND URINARY SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Ureteroscopy to upper third of ureter or renal pelvis, to Z628... add.
When to Use
- Use E822 as an add-on code when performing a diagnostic ureteroscopy (Z628) that specifically extends to the upper third of the ureter or the renal pelvis.
- Apply this code when the procedure involves reaching the upper anatomical landmarks during a diagnostic investigation that would otherwise be billed solely under Z628.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E822 as a standalone procedure; it is strictly an add-on code and will be rejected if not submitted in conjunction with Z628.
- Attempting to bill E822 alongside Z638, which is explicitly restricted and will result in a claim rejection.
- Failing to verify the anatomical location; E822 is specifically for the upper third of the ureter or renal pelvis, whereas other codes like E820 or E823 apply to different ureteral segments.
Billing Tips
- Ensure both Z628 and E822 are submitted on the same claim to satisfy the add-on requirement and avoid payment delays.
