T744 – T744
OHIP Other Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use T744 for the professional fee associated with the insertion of a permanent pacemaker system (single or dual chamber) in a hospital setting.
- Apply this code when performing the complete surgical procedure for a new pacemaker implant, distinct from the generator change-out code T746.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing T744 in conjunction with T746 for the same procedure is a common error that will result in a rejection for duplicate services.
- Submitting T744 without the appropriate hospital facility number or when the procedure is performed in an office setting will lead to automatic claim denial.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that the operative report clearly specifies the complexity of the lead placement, as this code covers the comprehensive surgical effort required for the system installation.
