G880
G880 – Ultrasound guidance for two or more injections (G870, G873, G874 or G876)
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use G880 when performing two or more Botulinum toxin injections (G870, G873, G874, or G876) where ultrasound is medically necessary to visualize and confirm the target muscle site.
- Apply this code specifically when the clinical complexity of the injection site requires real-time ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate needle placement for multiple injection points.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing G880 with any ultrasound or EMG service other than G877, G878, G879, or G880 will result in an automatic rejection.
- Attempting to bill G880 for a single injection site is an error; the code explicitly requires two or more injections to be eligible for payment.
- Submitting claims for Botulinum toxin services more frequently than once every 10 weeks without prior manual review and supporting documentation will lead to rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the base procedure code (G870, G873, G874, or G876) is included on the same claim to avoid invalidating the G880 add-on.
- If you are treating a patient under 16 years of age, verify that the applicable age-based premium is applied to the claim to capture the 10-30% fee increase.
