S571 – Hypospadias or Epispadia - one stage repair with advancement of meatus into glans
OHIP Urology Code — MALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
S571 is a surgical procedure for a one-stage repair of hypospadias or epispadia. The procedure is specifically described as 'with advancement of meatus into glans'.
When to Use
- Use S571 for a single-stage hypospadias repair specifically involving the advancement of the meatus into the glans, such as a MAGPI procedure.
- Select S571 when the surgical technique is limited to meatal advancement and glanular reconstruction, as opposed to more complex multi-stage repairs or those requiring extensive tissue grafting covered under S578 or S579.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S571 in conjunction with other hypospadias repair codes (e.g., S578 or S579) for the same operative session is a common cause of rejection for unbundling.
- Failing to apply the mandatory age-based fee premiums (e.g., AGE_PREMIUM_1Y_TO_2Y) results in significant underpayment, as these are not automatically calculated by the system.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report explicitly describes the 'advancement of meatus into glans' to justify the use of S571 over other hypospadias codes, as this is the defining clinical requirement for this specific fee.
