T687 – T687
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T687 for the professional fee associated with the insertion of a permanent pacemaker system when performed as a primary procedure.
- Apply this code when the clinical documentation confirms the placement of both the pulse generator and the lead(s) as a single operative event.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T687 in conjunction with lead revision codes like Z766, which is disallowed as the insertion fee is considered comprehensive.
- Submitting T687 for temporary pacemaker insertion, which must be billed under specific temporary pacing codes rather than this permanent system fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly details the lead placement and generator connection to support the full value of T687 during potential post-payment audits.
