E903 – Team fee for acoustic neuroma
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — NEUROLOGICAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Team fee for acoustic neuroma, same approach
When to Use
- Use E903 when acting as the assistant surgeon during an acoustic neuroma resection performed via the same surgical approach as the primary surgeon.
- Apply this code specifically when the primary procedure is billed under N102 (craniotomy for acoustic neuroma) or N153 (posterior fossa craniotomy).
Common Pitfalls
- Billing E903 without a corresponding N102 or N153 claim will result in an automatic rejection as it is a dependent team fee.
- Attempting to bill E903 when the surgical approach differs from the primary surgeon's procedure will trigger an audit risk for inappropriate code selection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the primary surgeon's claim is processed successfully before submitting E903 to avoid reconciliation errors.
