S302 – Donor pancreas removal
OHIP Urology Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Surgical removal of a donor pancreas for transplantation. This procedure is performed on a deceased or living donor to procure the organ for a recipient. This code covers the surgeon's work for the harvesting procedure. Related procedures include back-bench preparation (S303) and the actual transplant into the recipient (S308).
When to Use
- Use S302 exclusively for the procurement of a donor pancreas from a deceased or living donor.
- Apply this code when the surgeon performs the organ harvesting procedure, distinct from the recipient implantation procedure S308.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S302 in conjunction with S303 for the same surgeon is often flagged; ensure that back-bench preparation is clearly documented as a separate procedural phase if billed together.
- Confusing S302 with S308; S302 is for the donor harvest, whereas S308 is strictly for the recipient transplant procedure.
Billing Tips
- Always append appropriate surgical assistant codes if a second surgeon is present for the procurement, as S302 is eligible for assistant services.
