X158
X158 – Bronchogram - unilateral
OHIP Laboratory Code — DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY · Schedule of Benefits
Bronchogram - unilateral
When to Use
- Use X158 when performing a unilateral bronchogram procedure in a hospital setting for diagnostic purposes.
- Select X158 specifically for single-side imaging; use X159 if the procedure involves a bilateral bronchogram.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing X158 alongside other special visit premiums (C102-C110) for the same patient encounter will result in rejection, as these are mutually exclusive.
- Attempting to bill X158 for services rendered outside of a hospital setting, such as via remote PACS interpretation, is a common cause for audit recovery.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the claim clearly distinguishes between the professional and technical components if the hospital billing structure requires split-billing per GP11.
- If the procedure is non-elective and performed after hours in an acute care hospital, prioritize the appropriate special visit premium (C102-C110) as the primary billing driver for the encounter.
