G546 – Radiotelemetry or portable EEG monitoring - professional component
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use G546 when providing the professional interpretation for radiotelemetry or portable EEG monitoring performed on an ambulatory patient.
- Claim this code in addition to a routine EEG fee (such as G540) when the specific clinical requirement necessitates continuous monitoring outside of a static laboratory setting.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing G546 without an associated routine EEG claim will result in a rejection, as it is strictly an add-on service.
- Confusing G546 with G545 or G555; ensure the clinical documentation specifies 'radiotelemetry' or 'portable' monitoring rather than prolonged or standard ambulatory EEG to avoid audit discrepancies.
Billing Tips
- Always ensure the technical component G542 is billed by the facility or the appropriate provider to support the professional claim for G546.
