S710 – Hysterectomy with omentectomy for malignancy
OHIP Urology Code — FEMALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Hysterectomy with omentectomy for malignancy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the uterus, with or without adnexa (ovaries and fallopian tubes), along with the removal of the omentum. This procedure is typically performed for the treatment of gynecological cancers. When performed laparoscopically, it is eligible for a 25% premium using E862.
When to Use
- Use S710 when performing a total hysterectomy specifically for a confirmed malignancy that requires the formal removal of the omentum as part of the staging or debulking process.
- Select S710 over standard hysterectomy codes like S757 or S758 when the surgical intent and operative findings necessitate omentectomy for oncological clearance.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S710 in conjunction with restricted codes such as S722, S760, or S812 will trigger an automatic rejection; ensure the claim only includes the primary surgical procedure.
- Failing to append the E862 premium when the procedure is performed laparoscopically results in a significant underpayment of the 25% entitled fee increase.
Billing Tips
- Always verify that the operative report explicitly details the omentectomy to justify the use of S710 over standard hysterectomy codes, as this is a common audit trigger.
