S812 – Post hysterectomy vault prolapse - repeat - repair by vaginal approach
OHIP Urology Code — FEMALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This is a repeat surgical procedure to correct a post-hysterectomy vault prolapse using a vaginal approach. The repair may optionally include repair of an enterocoele and/or anterior and posterior repair. This is the repeat version of the primary procedure S722. As denoted by the '#' prefix on page of the Schedule, when this service is performed in a hospital, the premises, equipment, supplies, and personnel are funded by the hospital's global budget as per .
When to Use
- Use S812 specifically for a repeat vaginal vault prolapse repair when the patient has a documented history of a previous failed vault repair.
- Select S812 when performing a secondary vaginal approach repair, as it is the designated repeat code for the primary procedure S722.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S812 alongside S722 is a common error; S812 is the repeat version and should be billed as the primary surgical code for the encounter.
- Attempting to bill S812 in addition to anterior or posterior repairs is unnecessary, as the code description explicitly includes these components in its scope.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly documents the previous vault repair to justify the use of S812 over the primary procedure code S722.
