T680 – T680
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T680 for the initial assessment and management of a patient presenting with a confirmed diagnosis of acute stroke requiring urgent intervention.
- Apply this code when coordinating a multi-disciplinary stroke team response during the acute phase, provided the criteria for the stroke code are met.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T680 in conjunction with a standard consultation code (A005) for the same patient encounter will trigger a rejection for duplicate service.
- Submitting T680 without the mandatory diagnostic code for stroke (e.g., ICD-9 434) will result in an automatic claim rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the start and end times of the acute intervention are clearly noted in the chart to support the claim if audited against the T680 fee requirements.
