G408 – 2nd to 10th day, inclusive (per diem)
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This applies to the service of being in constant or periodic attendance following transplantation, to provide all aspects of care to the renal transplant patient. This consists of an initial consultation or assessment and such subsequent assessments as may be indicated, including ongoing monitoring of the patient's condition and intervening as appropriate.
When to Use
- Use G408 for daily management of a renal transplant patient during the 2nd through 10th post-operative days when you are providing comprehensive care.
- Select G408 instead of standard hospital visit codes (A003, A004) when the patient remains in the hospital for post-transplant monitoring and stabilization.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing A-prefix assessment codes (e.g., A003, A004) on the same day as G408 will result in automatic rejection as G408 is an all-inclusive management fee.
- Attempting to bill G408 for days outside the 2nd to 10th day window will trigger a rejection; use G409 for the 11th to 30th day period instead.
Billing Tips
- Ensure your documentation reflects the 'constant or periodic attendance' required by the Schedule of Benefits to justify the management fee over standard daily visit codes.
