T599 – T599
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T599 for the primary surgeon's fee when performing a radical prostatectomy, including the associated lymphadenectomy.
- Apply this code when the procedure is performed via open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted approach, as the fee remains consistent across modalities.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill T599 in conjunction with pelvic lymph node dissection codes, as the lymphadenectomy is considered inclusive to this procedure.
- Avoid billing T599 if the procedure is aborted before the prostate is removed; in such cases, use an appropriate surgical assist or time-based code instead.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly details the extent of the lymph node dissection to support the use of T599 over lesser prostatectomy codes.
