T740 – T740
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T740 for the professional fee associated with the insertion of a permanent cardiac pacemaker, specifically for a single chamber system.
- Apply this code when the procedure is performed in an operating room setting as the primary surgical intervention for bradyarrhythmia management.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T740 in conjunction with a consultation code (A005 or similar) on the same day is frequently rejected unless a separate, distinct clinical issue is documented and appended with the appropriate diagnostic code.
- Failure to include the mandatory technical component or facility fee associated with the hospital's surgical suite often leads to incomplete reimbursement claims.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the claim includes the correct diagnostic code for the underlying rhythm disturbance to avoid automated edits that flag the procedure as medically unnecessary.
