OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T464 for the surgical repair of a ruptured or lacerated tendon of the hand or wrist involving a single tendon.
- Apply this code when performing a primary repair of an extensor or flexor tendon that requires formal surgical exploration and suturing in an operating room setting.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill T464 in conjunction with minor procedure codes like S062, as the surgical repair fee is intended to be comprehensive for the procedure.
- Avoid billing T464 for simple tendon debridement or tenolysis, which are more appropriately captured under codes like T462 or T463.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly specifies the tendon involved and the technique used, as this code is frequently audited for documentation of the repair complexity.
