T408 – T408
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T408 for the professional fee associated with the insertion of a permanent pacemaker system, specifically for a single chamber device.
- Apply this code when the procedure is performed in an operating room or cardiac catheterization lab setting where the physician assumes full responsibility for the implantation.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T408 in conjunction with other surgical procedure codes that are considered inclusive of the pacemaker insertion, leading to automatic claim rejection.
- Failing to ensure the patient's diagnostic code supports the medical necessity of a permanent pacemaker, which triggers manual review or audit.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that any associated diagnostic imaging or intraoperative monitoring is billed using the appropriate separate codes, as T408 covers the surgical implantation fee only.
