T532 – T532
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T532 for the surgical repair of a complete third-degree perineal laceration involving the anal sphincter and rectal mucosa.
- Apply this code when performing a formal secondary repair of a breakdown of a previous third-degree perineal repair.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill T532 in conjunction with a standard episiotomy repair (E801), as the latter is considered an inclusive component of the more extensive procedure.
- Avoid billing T532 for simple second-degree lacerations, which should be captured under standard obstetric delivery fees or minor repair codes.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative note explicitly documents the involvement of the anal sphincter and rectal mucosa to justify the higher complexity fee compared to standard perineal repairs.
