S575 – Amputation - partial with inguinal glands 1 or 2 stages
OHIP Urology Code — MALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
S575 is a surgical procedure for the partial amputation of the penis. This procedure also includes the removal of inguinal glands and may be completed in either one or two surgical stages. This service is listed in the 'Male Genital Surgical Procedures' section of the Schedule of Benefits.
When to Use
- Use S575 for partial penectomy when the surgical plan specifically includes the excision of inguinal lymph nodes in either a single-stage or two-stage procedure.
- Select S575 over S574 (partial amputation without lymphadenectomy) when the inguinal node dissection is performed as part of the primary oncological management.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S575 in conjunction with separate lymph node excision codes is considered unbundling, as the inguinal gland removal is already included in the S575 fee.
- Failure to document the specific staging of the procedure can lead to audit scrutiny, as S575 explicitly covers both one-stage and two-stage approaches.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that if the procedure is performed after hours, you apply the appropriate E409 or E410 premium to the base fee, provided the criteria for non-elective or delayed elective surgery are met.
- When multiple procedures are performed under the same anesthetic, remember that the surgical assistant and anaesthesiologist fees are restricted to the units of the major procedure only.
