N102 – Meningioma and other tumourous lesions - supratentorial
OHIP Otolaryngology Code — NEUROLOGICAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Craniotomy plus excision for meningioma and other tumourous lesions - supratentorial. This procedure is performed by the operating surgeon (suffix A) and may require an assistant (suffix B) and/or anaesthetist (suffix C). It is eligible for add-on codes E901 (with operating microscope) and E902 (lesion greater than 2 cm diameter).
When to Use
- Use N102 for the definitive craniotomy and excision of a supratentorial meningioma, rather than using a general craniotomy code like N005.
- Select N102 for supratentorial gliomas or other non-meningioma tumourous lesions that require a formal craniotomy and excision, provided the location is supratentorial.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing N102 for infratentorial lesions, which must be billed under the appropriate posterior fossa codes instead.
- Failing to append E902 when the pathology report confirms a lesion diameter exceeding 2 cm, resulting in significant under-billing.
- Attempting to bill N102 in conjunction with biopsy-only codes; N102 is intended for the excision procedure and includes the diagnostic component.
Billing Tips
- Always ensure the operative report explicitly documents the lesion size in centimeters to support the mandatory claim for E902 when applicable.
- Remember to append E901 if an operating microscope was utilized, as this is a separate add-on that is not bundled into the base N102 fee.
