R784 – Aorto-Iliac repair plus unilateral common femoral repair
OHIP Radiology Code — CARDIOVASCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This service is for the surgical repair of the aorto-iliac artery system, including both common iliac arteries, plus an additional repair of one common femoral artery. It is an extension of the procedure described by R783. This is a major surgical procedure typically performed by a vascular or cardiac surgeon.
When to Use
- Use R784 when performing an aorto-iliac repair that necessitates the additional repair of exactly one common femoral artery.
- Select R784 over R783 when the surgical plan explicitly includes the unilateral femoral component, as R783 covers the aorto-iliac system only.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing R784 in conjunction with other femoral repair codes will trigger a rejection for duplicate service; ensure the femoral component is captured within the R784 base fee.
- Failure to document the specific involvement of the common femoral artery can lead to audit recovery if the claim is downgraded to R783.
Billing Tips
- Always append E986 if a suprarenal or supraceliac aortic cross clamp is utilized, as this is a distinct flat-fee add-on specifically eligible with R784.
- Ensure E626 is claimed if the inferior mesenteric artery is reimplanted, as this is a separate billable flat fee permitted alongside the R784 primary procedure.
