OHIP Radiology Code · Schedule of Benefits
Ankle ligament repair - extensive/multiple
When to Use
- Use R744 for complex, multi-ligament reconstructions or repairs involving both the lateral and medial complexes, rather than simple isolated repairs.
- Select R744 when the procedure involves significant reconstructive work such as a Broström-Gould procedure combined with additional tendon graft augmentation or tenodesis.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing R744 alongside R185 is considered unbundling, as R185 is typically included in the global surgical fee for extensive ligamentous repairs.
- Submitting R744 for a simple primary repair of a single ligament will result in a downgrade to a lower-valued code or rejection upon audit.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report explicitly details the extent of the tissue damage and the specific techniques used for multiple ligaments to justify the 'extensive' descriptor required for this fee.
