R307
R307 – Bone - Calcaneal spur
OHIP Radiology Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This surgical procedure involves the excision of a calcaneal spur. The fee is for the surgeon (suffix A). Fees for a surgical assistant (suffix B) and anaesthetist (suffix C) are calculated based on basic and time units.
When to Use
- Use R307 specifically for the surgical excision of a calcaneal spur when performed as a distinct procedure.
- Use R307 when the procedure is performed in an operating room or surgical suite setting, distinguishing it from minor office-based procedures that may fall under different musculoskeletal codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill R307 in conjunction with R309 (Excision of bone, other) for the same site, as this is considered unbundling.
- Avoid billing R307 if the procedure is performed as part of a more comprehensive foot surgery (e.g., a formal bunionectomy or complex reconstruction) where the spur removal is incidental to the primary procedure.
- Failure to document the specific anatomical location and the necessity of the excision can lead to recovery during an audit.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that if a surgical assistant is utilized, the assistant claims the appropriate suffix B and any applicable after-hours premiums (E400B/E401B) separately from your surgeon fee.
- If the procedure is performed on both feet during the same operative session, bill R307 for the first foot and R307 with the appropriate bilateral modifier (usually 50% for the second side) according to the General Preamble rules.
