OHIP Radiology Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This surgical procedure involves subcranial U osteotomies to correct hypertelorism. As indicated by the asterisk (*) in the Schedule of Benefits, this service includes the harvesting and grafting of bone or cartilage grafts.
When to Use
- Use R377 specifically for subcranial U osteotomies performed to correct hypertelorism.
- Use this code when the surgical plan necessitates the harvesting and grafting of bone or cartilage as an integral component of the procedure.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Z263, Z264, E975, Z265, E976, or Z266 separately, as the harvesting and grafting of bone or cartilage is explicitly included in the R377 fee.
- Attempting to bill for a second surgical assistant without prior authorization from a medical consultant will result in rejection, as R377 is not on the pre-approved list for second assistants.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's age is accurately recorded to automatically trigger the appropriate Age-Based Fee Premium (ranging from 10% to 30%), as these are eligible add-ons for this code.
