X174
X174 – Peripheral angiogram - unilateral
OHIP Laboratory Code — DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY · Schedule of Benefits
Peripheral angiogram - unilateral
When to Use
- Use X174 for a unilateral peripheral angiogram when the procedure is performed as a standalone diagnostic radiological examination.
- Use X174 when the clinical documentation confirms the procedure was restricted to a single limb, distinguishing it from the bilateral X175.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing X174 and X175 together for the same patient on the same day is a common rejection; ensure the laterality is clearly documented to support the specific code used.
- Attempting to bill X174 for procedures performed via PACS or remote interpretation, as this code requires the physical performance of the clinical procedure.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the referral source is documented as a physician, nurse practitioner, or oral maxillofacial surgeon, as X174 requires a formal referral per GP111.
- If performing this procedure in an emergency or after-hours setting, verify eligibility for E409, E410, or the appropriate C-series travel premiums to maximize the procedural fee.
