R302 – Bone - Bunion/bunionette
OHIP Radiology Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This surgical procedure involves the excision of a bunion (hallux valgus) or bunionette (tailor's bunion). The service is listed under the Musculoskeletal System section and is typically performed to alleviate pain and correct deformity of the foot.
When to Use
- Use R302 for the primary excision of a hallux valgus (bunion) or bunionette (tailor's bunion) to correct the deformity.
- Use this code when the procedure is performed as a standalone musculoskeletal surgical intervention for symptomatic relief.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill R302 in conjunction with other foot osteotomy codes if the procedure is considered an integral component of the same surgical approach.
- Avoid billing R302 for minor soft tissue excisions or simple corn removals, as these are not equivalent to the bone-involved bunionectomy procedure.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly details the bone excision to justify the use of R302 over minor dermatological or soft tissue procedure codes.
- Verify if the procedure qualifies for age-based premiums or after-hours premiums (E409/E410) if the surgery meets the non-elective or emergency-delayed criteria.
