OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T555 for the primary surgeon performing a radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection.
- Apply this code when the procedure is performed via open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted approach as the definitive surgical treatment for localized prostate cancer.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T555 alongside an assistant fee (E-code) without ensuring the assistant is actually present and documented, as this is a high-audit target.
- Attempting to bill additional procedure codes for the lymph node dissection separately, as the fee for T555 is comprehensive and includes the pelvic lymphadenectomy.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report explicitly details the extent of the lymphadenectomy to support the global fee if audited against standard urological billing guidelines.
