T027 – T027
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T027 for the initial assessment and management of a patient with a major burn injury requiring specialized care, typically in a hospital setting.
- Apply this code when the clinical complexity of the burn management exceeds the scope of a standard consultation code like A005 or A007.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T027 in conjunction with a standard consultation code for the same patient on the same day will result in a rejection for duplicate service.
- Failure to document the specific total body surface area (TBSA) and depth of the burn often leads to audit recovery, as these metrics justify the high-value fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical record explicitly supports the complexity of the burn care to defend the T027 fee against potential Ministry of Health post-payment audits.
