G090
G090 – Venovenous slow continuous ultrafiltration - initial and acute
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use G090 specifically for the first three sessions of venovenous slow continuous ultrafiltration in the acute phase of renal replacement therapy.
- Apply this code when initiating ultrafiltration for fluid overload in patients who have not yet reached the chronic maintenance phase of dialysis.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing G090 beyond the third service limit, as the Schedule of Benefits strictly caps payment at the first three sessions.
- Failing to append the correct after-hours procedure premium (E409 or E410) when the procedure commences outside of standard daytime hours, as this is a designated major invasive procedure.
- Attempting to bill G090 for routine maintenance dialysis sessions, which are covered under different codes (e.g., G325 or G323).
Billing Tips
- Ensure the procedure start time is clearly documented in the chart to justify the application of E409 or E410 premiums.
- Verify that the patient's clinical status is documented as 'acute' to support the 'initial and acute' requirement for G090.
