T450 – T450
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T450 for the surgical repair of a complete or incomplete rupture of the Achilles tendon.
- Apply this code when performing an open primary repair of an acute Achilles tendon rupture in an operating room setting.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill T450 in conjunction with minor procedure codes like S062, as the global surgical fee for T450 already covers the intraoperative work and standard post-operative care.
- Avoid billing T450 for simple tendon debridement or tenolysis; those procedures require different codes such as T445 or T446.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly describes the primary repair technique, as auditors look for evidence of re-approximation of the tendon ends to justify the T450 fee.
