J067 – Spinal angiography for AV malformation
OHIP Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Code — CLINICAL PROCEDURES ASSOCIATED WITH DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS · Schedule of Benefits
J067 is the service of performing a spinal angiography for an arteriovenous (AV) malformation. It is billed per vessel investigated, with a maximum limit of 12 vessels per side.
When to Use
- Use J067 when performing diagnostic spinal angiography specifically to map the vascular supply of a confirmed or suspected spinal arteriovenous malformation.
- Bill J067 per vessel investigated when multiple spinal arteries are selectively catheterized to identify the nidus and feeding vessels of the malformation.
Common Pitfalls
- Exceeding the maximum of 12 vessels per side will result in automatic rejection of the additional units.
- Billing J067 for non-vascular spinal imaging or general spinal angiography that does not involve an AV malformation is an improper use of this specific code.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the number of units billed corresponds exactly to the number of individual vessels investigated, up to the 12-vessel limit per side.
- Apply the 15% age premium for patients 65 years or older as J067 is eligible for this increase under the Clinical Procedures associated with Diagnostic Radiological Examinations category.
