S719 – Posterior repair and repair of enterocoele and/or vault prolapse
OHIP Urology Code — FEMALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Posterior repair and repair of an enterocoele and/or vault prolapse. This surgical procedure is listed under the Vagina Repair subsection of Female Genital Surgical Procedures. The # symbol indicates that when performed in a hospital, the premises, equipment, supplies, and personnel used are funded by the hospital global budget ().
When to Use
- Use S719 for a posterior colporrhaphy specifically involving the repair of an enterocoele and/or vault prolapse.
- Use S719 when performing a posterior repair in conjunction with vault suspension or enterocoele obliteration, as it encompasses the complexity of these combined repairs.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill S719 in addition to S716 (anterior repair) or S717 (posterior repair) for the same anatomical site, as this constitutes unbundling; use the most comprehensive code applicable to the procedure performed.
- Avoid billing S719 if the procedure is limited to a simple posterior colporrhaphy without enterocoele or vault involvement, as S717 is the appropriate code for a standard posterior repair.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report explicitly documents the repair of the enterocoele or vault prolapse to justify the use of S719 over the lower-valued S717.
