OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T671 for the specific surgical procedure of a total hip replacement when performed as a primary elective intervention.
- Select T671 when the clinical documentation confirms the implantation of a prosthetic hip device following a diagnosis of degenerative joint disease.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T671 in conjunction with a consultation code on the same day is frequently rejected unless a separate, distinct clinical issue is documented.
- Submitting T671 without the mandatory associated diagnostic code for osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis will result in an automatic claim rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that any applicable surgical tray fees or additional hardware premiums are billed as separate line items if permitted under the Schedule of Benefits to avoid under-billing the procedure.
