OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T348 for the professional fee associated with the insertion of a permanent pacemaker system when performed by a specialist.
- Apply this code when billing for the surgical implantation procedure in an operating room or cardiac catheterization lab setting.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T348 in conjunction with other surgical procedure codes that are considered inclusive of the pacemaker insertion, leading to automatic rejection.
- Failing to append the appropriate diagnostic code that justifies the medical necessity of the permanent pacemaker, which triggers audit flags.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that any associated technical fees or facility charges are billed separately under the hospital's global budget or appropriate facility code, as T348 covers the physician professional component only.
