S766 – Amputation of cervix - abdominal
OHIP Urology Code — FEMALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Excision of a cervical stump using an abdominal approach. This surgical procedure is denoted with a '#' prefix, which indicates that for services performed in a hospital, the premises, equipment, supplies, and personnel used to perform all elements of the service are funded by the hospital global budget.
When to Use
- Use S766 specifically for the excision of a cervical stump via an abdominal approach following a previous subtotal hysterectomy.
- Select S766 when the procedure is performed as an isolated surgical event, distinct from a primary hysterectomy (S765) or vaginal approach (S767).
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S766 in conjunction with a total hysterectomy code is a common error; the excision of the cervix is considered an integral component of a total hysterectomy.
- Failure to recognize the '#' prefix, which confirms that hospital-based overhead costs are already covered, leading to erroneous attempts to bill for facility-related supplies.
- Attempting to bill for a second surgical assistant without prior authorization, as S766 is not on the pre-approved list for second assistant coverage.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report explicitly details the abdominal approach to justify the use of S766 over the vaginal equivalent S767.
- Always verify that the patient's previous surgical history supports the 'cervical stump' diagnosis to avoid claims being flagged for clinical inconsistency.
