G362 – Insertion of laminaria tent
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Insertion of a laminaria tent. An additional fee, E870, is payable when the laminaria tent is supplied by the physician. This service includes all common and constituent elements of an insured service as described in the Schedule of Benefits (, ).
When to Use
- Use G362 when performing cervical ripening prior to a surgical abortion or induction of labor where mechanical dilation is clinically indicated.
- Use G362 specifically for the insertion procedure; do not use it for the subsequent removal of the tent, which is considered part of the global surgical fee for the primary procedure.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing G362 as a standalone visit without an associated assessment code (e.g., A007) when the patient presents specifically for this procedure.
- Failing to append E870 when the physician provides the device, as the base fee for G362 does not cover the cost of the supply.
Billing Tips
- Always pair G362 with an appropriate A-prefix assessment code to ensure the visit is recognized as a professional service rather than just a technical procedure.
