OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T347 for the professional fee associated with the insertion of a permanent pacemaker system when performed by a specialist.
- Apply this code when the procedure is performed in an operating room or cardiac catheterization lab setting as the primary procedural service.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T347 in conjunction with a consultation code on the same day is often rejected unless a separate, distinct clinical reason for the consultation is clearly documented.
- Attempting to bill T347 alongside minor surgical trays or local anesthesia codes which are considered bundled into the primary procedure fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report explicitly details the lead placement and device testing to support the claim during potential post-payment audits.
- If a temporary pacemaker is inserted during the same session, ensure it is not billed separately as it is considered inclusive of the T347 procedural fee.
