G298
G298 – Coronary angioplasty stent
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use G298 for each individual coronary stent deployed during a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure.
- Apply this code when performing non-elective or emergent-delayed coronary stenting to qualify for the appropriate after-hours procedure premiums.
Common Pitfalls
- Claiming J058 on the same day as G298 will result in J058 being paid at nil, as G298 takes precedence in the restricted pair.
- Attempting to claim G298 for diagnostic angiography (G262) or other non-stent procedures will lead to audit recovery, as G298 is strictly for stent deployment.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the number of units billed for G298 matches the exact number of stents deployed during the procedure to avoid rejection or underpayment.
- When performing procedures after hours, verify your status as an Emergency Department Physician versus a specialist to select the correct premium pair (E409/E410 vs E412/E413).
