G425Fluorescein angiography - professional component

OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits

This service represents the professional component (interpretation and report) of fluorescein angiography. The corresponding technical component is billed separately as G853. Note: For bilateral procedures, add 50% of the listed benefit. This rule also applies to G853, G444, and G854.

When to Use

  • Use G425 when you are providing the formal interpretation and written report for a fluorescein angiography procedure performed on a patient.
  • Apply this code when billing for the professional component in conjunction with the technical component G853 performed in the same session.

Common Pitfalls

  • Failing to append the bilateral modifier (usually 'BI' or equivalent) when interpreting images for both eyes, which results in underpayment of the 50% premium.
  • Billing G425 without a corresponding G853 technical fee, which may trigger an audit regarding the existence of the technical component documentation.
  • Attempting to bill G425 alongside a general office visit code (A007) for the same encounter without clear documentation of a separate, distinct clinical assessment.

Billing Tips

  • Ensure your clinical note explicitly states the interpretation findings to support the professional component claim, as the report is the primary audit requirement for G425.
  • Always bill G425 and G853 together on the same claim submission to ensure the professional and technical components are reconciled correctly by the Ministry.
