R875 – Endovascular aneurysm repair using stent grafting
OHIP Radiology Code — CARDIOVASCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Endovascular aneurysm repair using stent grafting
When to Use
- Use R875 for the primary endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm using a stent graft when the patient is deemed high-risk for open surgical repair.
- Select R875 when performing the procedure as the primary surgeon, ensuring the suffix 'A' is appended to the code.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill for the insertion of access catheters or intraoperative imaging separately, as these are explicitly included in the R875 fee.
- Avoid billing for a second surgical assistant without prior authorization, as R875 is not on the pre-approved list for multiple assistants and requires a formal letter of justification.
Billing Tips
- Always append the E509 add-on code when a conduit to the aorta or common iliac artery is required during the R875 procedure to ensure appropriate compensation for the additional work.
