G272 – Manual plasmapheresis
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Manual plasmapheresis is a therapeutic procedure. The fee for this service is determined by Independent Consideration (IC), as noted in the Schedule of Benefits. As per , claims for IC services must be submitted with a supporting letter explaining the amount of the fee claimed, an appropriate operative or consultation report, and a comparison of the scope and difficulty of the procedure in relation to non-IC procedures in the Schedule.
When to Use
- Use G272 when performing manual plasmapheresis for therapeutic indications where automated apheresis equipment is not utilized.
- Select G272 for manual plasma exchange procedures that require direct physician oversight and manual separation techniques not covered by standard automated procedure codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Submitting G272 without the mandatory supporting letter and operative report will result in automatic rejection or a request for manual review.
- Failing to provide a comparative analysis of the procedure's complexity against a non-IC procedure code in the Schedule of Benefits violates GP12 requirements.
- Claiming G272 for automated plasmapheresis procedures is improper, as those services typically fall under different procedural billing categories.
Billing Tips
- When justifying your IC fee, explicitly compare the time and technical difficulty of G272 to a similar procedural code to provide the Ministry with a clear benchmark for valuation.
- Ensure your operative report clearly details the duration of the procedure and the specific manual techniques employed to justify the requested IC amount.
