G276 – Donor cell pheresis
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Donor cell pheresis (platelets or leukocytes).
When to Use
- Use G276 specifically for the collection of platelets or leukocytes from a donor via pheresis when the procedure is performed in a clinical setting.
- Select G276 when the primary objective is the harvesting of cellular components rather than therapeutic plasma exchange, which would fall under G275.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing G276 for therapeutic apheresis performed on a patient for disease management, which is incorrectly coded and should instead be billed under G275.
- Failing to distinguish between donor-directed collection and patient-specific therapeutic procedures, leading to potential audit flags regarding the medical necessity of the procedure.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical documentation clearly identifies the procedure as a donor collection to differentiate it from therapeutic pheresis codes like G275 or G277.
