OHIP Musculoskeletal System Surgical Procedures Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Arthrodesis of the shoulder is a surgical procedure involving the artificial induction of joint ossification between two bones, in this case, within the shoulder joint. This procedure is typically performed to relieve intractable pain from conditions like severe arthritis, instability, or failed joint replacement, by permanently fusing the joint. The fee for the surgeon (suffix A) is a flat rate. The fee for an assistant (suffix B) is calculated based on 6 base units plus time units. The fee for an anaesthetist (suffix C) is calculated based on 6 base units plus time units. Refer to the Surgical Assistants' Services section (starting ) and Anaesthesiologists' Services section (starting ) of the Schedule for time unit calculations.
