R805 – Renal artery aneurysm - reconstruction or excision with graft
OHIP Radiology Code — CARDIOVASCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This cardiovascular surgical procedure involves the repair of a renal artery aneurysm through reconstruction or excision and placement of a graft.
When to Use
- Use R805 for the surgical repair of a renal artery aneurysm involving excision or reconstruction with a graft, such as a saphenous vein or synthetic interposition graft.
- Select R805 when the procedure involves complex vascular reconstruction of the renal artery, distinguishing it from simpler endovascular interventions or non-reconstructive vascular procedures.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing R805 in conjunction with other vascular procedure codes (e.g., R811 or R935) without clear documentation of separate, distinct surgical sites or procedures, which may trigger a rejection for unbundling.
- Failing to document the specific type of graft used, which is essential for audit purposes to justify the selection of R805 over less intensive vascular repair codes.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that the operative report explicitly details the reconstruction or excision technique, as this is the primary justification for the R805 fee compared to standard vascular repair codes.
