F027 – Radius - distal - no reduction, rigid immobilization
OHIP Anaesthesia Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Radius - distal - no reduction, rigid immobilization
When to Use
- Use F027 for distal radius fractures that are stable and anatomically aligned, requiring only a cast or splint without any manual manipulation or traction.
- Use this code when managing pediatric buckle fractures of the distal radius that require immobilization but do not meet the criteria for a reduction procedure.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill F027 if any form of manual traction or manipulation was performed, as this would require a reduction code such as F028.
- Avoid billing F027 in conjunction with an office visit fee (A007) on the same day, as the procedure fee is intended to be comprehensive for the fracture management service.
Billing Tips
- Ensure your clinical notes explicitly state 'no reduction required' to justify the use of F027 over higher-valued reduction codes during an OHIP audit.
