R627 – Open reduction/fixation of pelvis or hip
OHIP Radiology Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This surgical procedure involves the open reduction and fixation of a slipped epiphysis. This service is categorized under 'Pelvis and Hip' procedures for reduction of fractures as listed in the Musculoskeletal System section of the Schedule.
When to Use
- Use R627 specifically for the open reduction and internal fixation of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).
- Apply this code when performing open reduction for hip fractures or dislocations where an arthrotomy is required as part of the procedure.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill R627 in conjunction with R607 or R642 for the same anatomical site, as these are considered inclusive or mutually exclusive procedures.
- Avoid billing for the removal of loose bodies or arthrotomy separately, as these elements are explicitly included in the R627 fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the procedure is documented as an open reduction to justify the use of R627 over closed reduction codes, as the Ministry may audit for the presence of an arthrotomy.
