F067Closed reduction of tarsus fracture

OHIP Anaesthesia Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits

A surgical procedure for the closed reduction of a fracture of the tarsus, excluding the os calcis. This procedure involves manipulating the bone fragments back into their normal alignment without making a surgical incision. It can be performed with an assistant and under anaesthesia. An additional fee is applicable for the application of a plaster cast if performed outside of a hospital.

When to Use

  • Use F067 for the closed reduction of a tarsal bone fracture, specifically excluding the os calcis (calcaneus).
  • Select F067 when the procedure is performed via closed manipulation without surgical incision, distinguishing it from open reduction procedures.

Common Pitfalls

  • Billing F067 for a calcaneal fracture is incorrect; ensure the fracture site is explicitly documented as a tarsal bone other than the os calcis.
  • Failing to document the specific tarsal bone involved can lead to audit scrutiny regarding the appropriateness of the code selection versus other musculoskeletal surgical codes.
  • Attempting to bill E584 for a cast applied within a hospital setting will result in a rejection, as E584 is strictly for office-based procedures.

Billing Tips

  • If the procedure is performed in an office setting, remember to add E584 for the plaster cast application to capture the additional fee.
  • Ensure that if the procedure meets the criteria for trauma (ISS > 15 for age 16+, or ISS > 12 for under 16), the E420 trauma premium is applied, noting that it cannot be combined with after-hours premiums.
