G342 – Implantation of hormone pellets
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Implantation of hormone pellets. This service includes all common elements of insured services as outlined in the Schedule of Benefits (, ).
When to Use
- Use G342 when performing the surgical implantation of hormone pellets for medically necessary endocrine conditions.
- Use this code for the procedure itself, distinct from the office visit fee (A007) if a separate, identifiable assessment is performed.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not attempt to bill after-hours procedure premiums E409 or E410 with G342, as it is not classified as a Major Invasive Procedure.
- Avoid billing G342 for cosmetic hormone treatments, as OHIP only covers services that are medically necessary and not excluded under the General Preamble.
Billing Tips
- Bill an office visit code (A007) in addition to G342 only if a full assessment is performed and documented separately from the procedure itself.
