T644 – T644
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T644 to bill for the professional component of a diagnostic ultrasound examination performed by a physician when the technical component is billed separately.
- Apply this code when the physician provides the interpretation and report for a diagnostic ultrasound procedure where the equipment and technologist are provided by a hospital or facility.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T644 in conjunction with a global ultrasound code (such as those in the 700 series) will result in a rejection for duplicate billing.
- Failure to ensure the facility has billed the technical component (T644TC) can lead to audit scrutiny regarding the appropriateness of the professional fee claim.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic report is signed and dated in the patient record to substantiate the professional interpretation claimed under T644.
