G585 – Echocardiography contrast - technical component

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

This code represents the technical component for using a contrast agent with an echocardiography study. It is an add-on to be claimed with either a complete study (G570) or a stress study (G582). Its use is indicated for difficult-to-image patients where standard imaging is suboptimal.
The physician performing the service must be able to establish they meet the required training levels (Level III, or Level II plus additional training, or specific grandfathering criteria).
The use of a contrast agent must be justified by difficult imaging where two or more contiguous segments are not seen on recent non-contrast images.
G585 is not eligible for payment unless a permanent record of study images and loops is maintained on an appropriate dynamic medium, either videotape or digitally.
