S760 – Vaginal sacropexy
OHIP Urology Code — FEMALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
An abdominal surgical procedure to repair a vaginal vault prolapse by performing a vaginal sacropexy. This procedure is indicated for post-hysterectomy vault prolapse. This service is denoted by the '#' prefix, indicating that when performed in a hospital, the facility costs are funded by the hospital's global budget. A separate code, S813, exists for a repeat of this procedure. This service may be eligible for payment if rendered by a medical trainee under the supervision of a physician, subject to the rules outlined in the Schedule of Benefits on pages -.
When to Use
- Use S760 for the primary abdominal surgical repair of a post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse.
- Use S760 when the procedure is performed as an initial corrective surgery, as opposed to S813 which is reserved for repeat procedures.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S760 alongside a hospital admission assessment is a common rejection; only the major pre-operative visit (consultation) is eligible for payment.
- Confusing S760 with S813 will lead to claim rejection or audit recovery, as S813 is strictly for repeat sacropexy procedures.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the '#' prefix is correctly applied to the claim, as this indicates the facility costs are covered by the hospital's global budget.
- If the patient is under 16 years of age, remember to apply the appropriate age premium percentage to the S760 base fee as outlined in the Schedule of Benefits.
