S765 – Amputation of cervix
OHIP Urology Code — FEMALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Surgical procedure involving the amputation of the cervix. The '#' prefix indicates that for services performed in a hospital, the premises, equipment, supplies, and personnel used are funded by the hospital global budget. If performed in an Integrated Community Health Services Centre (ICHSC), these costs are funded under the ICHSC's facility costs. Patients cannot be charged for these items if the service is rendered outside a hospital or ICHSC. See for details.
When to Use
- Use S765 for the formal surgical amputation of the cervix, distinct from minor procedures like cervical biopsy or simple cauterization.
- Select this code when the procedure is performed as a primary surgical intervention for cervical elongation or pathology requiring excision.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S765 in conjunction with other cervical procedures without clear documentation of separate, distinct surgical sites may trigger a rejection for unbundling.
- Failure to document the specific surgical necessity for amputation can lead to audit scrutiny, as this is a major procedure compared to minor office-based cervical treatments.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the procedure is performed in a hospital or ICHSC setting to comply with the '#' prefix requirements, as billing this as an office procedure may lead to payment adjustments or recovery.
