R811
R811 – Mesenteric or celiac artery repair - aneurysm
OHIP Radiology Code — CARDIOVASCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Surgical procedure for the repair of a mesenteric or celiac artery aneurysm. The fee for the surgeon (suffix A) is a flat rate, while fees for the assistant (suffix B) and anaesthetist (suffix C) are calculated based on basic and time units.
When to Use
- Use R811 specifically for the surgical repair of a mesenteric or celiac artery aneurysm when the primary intent is the aneurysm itself.
- Select R811 over R815 or R817 when the pathology is localized to the mesenteric or celiac vessels rather than a more extensive aortic reconstruction.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing R811 alongside more extensive vascular procedures (such as R815 or R817) without confirming if the procedure is considered a component part of the larger surgery, which may lead to rejection for unbundling.
- Failing to document the specific artery involved, as generic descriptions often trigger manual review or audit for vascular surgical claims.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the surgical assistant (suffix B) and anaesthetist (suffix C) use the basic units associated with R811 as the primary procedure when multiple procedures are performed under the same anaesthetic.
