Cardiotomy with removal of tumour is a surgical procedure listed under the Cardiovascular Surgical Procedures section. It involves making an incision into the heart muscle to access and remove a tumour. The fee for this service is eligible for payment to the operating surgeon (suffix A), a surgical assistant (suffix B), and an anaesthesiologist (suffix C). The fees for the assistant and anaesthesiologist are calculated using a unit-based system, combining base units with time units for the duration of the procedure. This procedure allows for a second assistant to be billed without requiring special authorization.

When to Use

Use R714 specifically for the surgical excision of intracardiac masses such as myxomas, fibromas, or thrombi requiring an open cardiotomy.
Select R714 when the primary objective of the procedure is the removal of a tumour from the heart chambers or valves, distinguishing it from R710 or R711 which are focused on arrhythmia-related ablations or conduction pathways.

Common Pitfalls

Billing R714 alongside E660 or E661 without clear documentation of the mapping procedure, which is subject to audit for medical necessity.
Attempting to bill R714 in combination with R710 or R711, which may trigger rejection or recovery if the Ministry deems the services bundled or overlapping in scope.

Billing Tips

Ensure that if a second surgical assistant is utilized, the claim is submitted without special authorization, as R714 is explicitly designated as eligible for a second assistant.
When performing concurrent electrophysiological interventions, ensure the appropriate add-on codes (E660, E661, or E658) are appended to the primary R714 claim to capture the full scope of the procedure.
