S201 – Small bowel transplant - donor
OHIP Urology Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This service is for the donor portion of a small bowel transplant, involving the surgical removal of the organ. The fee is for the surgeon's service (claimed with suffix 'A'). Assistant (suffix 'B') and Anaesthetist (suffix 'C') services are paid separately based on a unit system. See the 'Surgical Assistants' Services' (-) and 'Anaesthesiologists' Services' (-) sections of the General Preamble for calculation details.
When to Use
- Use S201A for the surgical removal of a small bowel graft from a deceased donor.
- Use this code exclusively for the donor procedure; do not use it for the recipient's transplant surgery, which is billed under separate codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Failure to append the correct suffix (A for surgeon, B for assistant, C for anaesthetist) will result in automatic claim rejection.
- Attempting to bill this code for the recipient's transplant procedure is a common error; ensure the service is strictly for the donor organ procurement.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the surgical assistant (S201B) and anaesthetist (S201C) claims are submitted separately using the same service date and patient information to ensure proper linkage to the base procedure.
