G331
G331 – Repeat acute peritoneal dialysis
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Repeat acute (up to 48 hours) - for the first 3 services.
When to Use
- Use G331 for the second and third repeat acute peritoneal dialysis sessions occurring within a 48-hour window following the initial procedure.
- Apply this code specifically for the first three services of repeat acute dialysis, distinguishing it from the initial G330 procedure.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing G331 beyond the first three services, as the Schedule of Benefits limits the 'repeat' designation to this specific count.
- Failing to link the procedure to the appropriate non-elective status when claiming after-hours premiums like E409 or E410.
- Confusing G331 with R852 or R885; ensure the service is strictly for the dialysis procedure rather than the associated professional assessment or management.
Billing Tips
- Always verify that the procedure start time falls within the 48-hour acute window to maintain eligibility for the G331 fee.
- Ensure the appropriate after-hours premium (E409, E410, E412, or E413) is appended based on your provider status and the exact time of the procedure commencement.
