R629 – Revision of amputated finger tip
OHIP Radiology Code — MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Revision of amputated finger tip. This is a surgical procedure listed under the Musculoskeletal System section of the Schedule of Benefits. Assistant fee is payable based on 6 base units plus time. Anaesthesia fee is payable based on 6 base units plus time.
When to Use
- Use R629 for the formal surgical revision of an amputated finger tip, such as debridement, bone shortening, and primary closure, to distinguish it from simple laceration repairs (e.g., Z700 series).
- Select R629 when the procedure involves significant tissue management or bone work that exceeds the scope of a standard minor procedure or simple wound closure.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing R629 in addition to a laceration repair code (Z700 series) for the same digit is considered double-billing; the revision code is intended to be comprehensive for the surgical site.
- Failing to document the specific extent of the revision (e.g., bone trimming or complex flap management) can lead to audit scrutiny if the claim is reviewed against a simple suturing procedure.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that if a surgical assistant or anaesthesiologist is required, you confirm the case meets the non-elective criteria if applying after-hours premiums like E409 or E410.
