P060 – Percutaneous amnioinfusion
OHIP Plastic Surgery Code — OBSTETRICS · Schedule of Benefits
Percutaneous amnioinfusion is a therapeutic maternal-fetal surgical procedure. The fee is for the surgeon's service. Assistant and Anaesthetist services are also payable and calculated based on basic and time units. As per the note on page of the Schedule, procedures listed under Maternal - Fetal Procedures are payable in addition to J149A Ultrasonic Guidance and/or `Z552A` Diagnostic Laparoscopy, where applicable.
When to Use
- Use P060 for the therapeutic instillation of fluid into the amniotic sac to treat oligohydramnios or to facilitate visualization during fetal interventions.
- Use P060 when performing percutaneous amnioinfusion as a distinct surgical procedure, ensuring it is distinguished from simple amniocentesis (which would typically fall under diagnostic codes).
Common Pitfalls
- Failing to bill J149A for the ultrasonic guidance component, which is explicitly permitted as an add-on to P060 per the Schedule of Benefits.
- Attempting to bill a second surgical assistant without prior authorization, as P060 does not qualify for automatic second assistant payment.
Billing Tips
- Always append J149A to your claim for P060 to capture the professional component of the ultrasonic guidance, as this is specifically authorized for maternal-fetal procedures.
