G348 – Renal preservation with continuous machine perfusion
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Renal preservation with continuous machine perfusion. This is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure listed under Nephrology. As per , this service is classified as a major invasive procedure and is eligible for after-hours procedure premiums if the service is non-elective.
When to Use
- Use G348 specifically for the active management of renal preservation using continuous machine perfusion technology.
- Select G348 when the procedure is performed as a non-elective intervention to maintain organ viability prior to transplantation.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing G348 without documenting the non-elective nature of the procedure, which is a requirement for triggering after-hours premiums like E409 or E410.
- Attempting to bill G348 alongside G347 for the same organ preservation event, as these are typically mutually exclusive depending on the specific perfusion method used.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the start time of the procedure is clearly recorded in the clinical notes to justify the application of E409, E410, E412, or E413 premiums.
