E870 – Laminaria tent supply
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use E870 only when you personally provide the laminaria tent from your own office stock for a G362 procedure.
- Apply this code when performing a G362 in a private clinic setting where the facility does not provide the supply.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E870 when the laminaria tent is provided by a hospital or surgical facility, which will trigger a rejection or recovery during audit.
- Attempting to bill E870 as a standalone code; it must be submitted on the same claim as G362 to avoid automatic rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure your clinical documentation explicitly notes that the laminaria tent was supplied by the physician to justify the add-on fee in the event of a post-payment review.
