S350Image-guided transcatheter embolization for active gastrointestinal bleeding

OHIP Urology Code · Schedule of Benefits

Image-guided transcatheter embolization for active gastrointestinal bleeding performed within an interventional radiology suite.

When to Use

  • Use S350 for active gastrointestinal hemorrhage requiring definitive transcatheter embolization in an interventional suite.
  • Choose S350 over J023 when the procedure involves mechanical or chemical embolization rather than simple intra-arterial infusion of drugs.

Common Pitfalls

  • Billing S350 alongside any diagnostic angiography or image interpretation codes will result in automatic rejection, as these are considered inclusive.
  • Attempting to claim S350 with S351 is prohibited; these codes are mutually exclusive for the same patient encounter.
  • Submitting for a Surgical Assistant fee or Trauma Premium (E420) will fail, as S350 is restricted to Section E procedures.

Billing Tips

  • Ensure all intraprocedural imaging, catheterization, and post-procedure monitoring are bundled into the $1500.00 fee; do not unbundle these components.
  • Apply the appropriate after-hours premium (E409-E413) if the procedure is non-elective and performed outside standard daytime hours to maximize the claim.
Provider Fee$1,500.00
