T442 – T442
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T442 for the surgical repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) when performed as an emergency procedure.
- Select this code when the clinical documentation confirms an open surgical approach for the repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T442 in conjunction with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) codes is a common error, as T442 is specific to open surgical intervention.
- Failing to include the appropriate diagnostic code for the rupture will trigger an automatic rejection, as the procedure is inherently linked to the acute nature of the rupture.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that the operative report clearly details the extent of the aortic involvement to justify the complexity associated with the T442 fee schedule.
