OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T339 for the excision of a malignant lesion of the skin or mucous membrane where the diameter of the lesion is 2.0 cm or greater.
- Select T339 instead of T338 when the excised lesion diameter meets the 2.0 cm threshold, as T338 is restricted to lesions smaller than 2.0 cm.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T339 without documenting the specific lesion diameter in the operative report, which is the primary audit trigger for this code.
- Attempting to bill T339 in addition to a minor procedure code like G372 for the same lesion, which constitutes unbundling.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the pathology report confirms malignancy, as T339 is specifically designated for malignant lesions; benign excisions must be billed under different codes such as Z339.
