E950
E950 – Insertion of artificial intraocular lens
OHIP Surgical Assists Code — OCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Claim E950 as an add-on when performing a secondary lens implantation during a dislocated lens extraction coded as E141.
- Use E950 when replacing an existing artificial lens that requires removal via E144 and subsequent insertion of a new lens.
Common Pitfalls
- Submitting E950 alongside E156 or E157 will result in an automatic rejection due to explicit billing restrictions.
- Attempting to claim E950 as a standalone procedure will lead to rejection, as it is strictly an add-on code requiring a primary surgical procedure code.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the primary procedure (E141 or E144) is billed on the same claim as E950 to satisfy the add-on dependency requirement.
