S779 – Excision of septum
OHIP Urology Code — FEMALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Hysteroplasty - excision of septum is a surgical procedure to repair the uterus by removing a septum.
When to Use
- Use S779 specifically for the surgical excision of a uterine septum (hysteroplasty) when performed as a primary procedure.
- Choose S779 over S775 (D&C) when the clinical intent and operative report confirm the specific removal of a septum rather than a standard endometrial curettage.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S779 in conjunction with S775 for the same operative session is often flagged as unbundling; ensure the operative report clearly distinguishes the excision from any incidental curettage.
- Failure to document the specific anatomical findings of the septum can lead to audit rejections, as the code requires evidence of the structural defect being addressed.
Billing Tips
- If the procedure is performed after hours, ensure you apply the appropriate E-code (E409 or E410) to the base fee of $349.00 to maximize the procedural reimbursement.
