G444 – Fluorescein angioscopy - professional component
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
The professional component of fluorescein angioscopy, which is the physician's service including interpretation and reporting. This service is often performed in conjunction with its technical component, G854. As per the note on page of the Schedule, for bilateral procedures, add 50% of the listed benefit.
When to Use
- Use G444 to bill the professional interpretation and reporting component when performing fluorescein angioscopy in a clinical setting.
- Always pair G444 with the technical component G854 when the physician provides both the service and the interpretation in their own office.
Common Pitfalls
- Failing to add the 50% bilateral premium when performing the procedure on both eyes, as G444 is listed as a unilateral fee.
- Billing G444 in isolation without ensuring the corresponding technical component G854 is also submitted for the same date of service.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic report is clearly documented in the patient chart to support the professional component claim during a potential audit.
