X328 – Polycythemia
OHIP Laboratory Code — RADIATION ONCOLOGY · Schedule of Benefits
Treatment for polycythemia using non-sealed source radioisotopes. The benefit for this service includes treatment planning, dosage calculation, and preparation of materials. The Schedule notes that appropriate visit and procedural benefits (e.g., paracentesis) may be claimed in addition to this service.
When to Use
- Use X328 specifically for the therapeutic administration of non-sealed radioisotopes in the management of polycythemia vera.
- Apply this code when the clinical encounter involves the comprehensive process of treatment planning, dosage calculation, and material preparation for radiopharmaceutical therapy.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill X328 for diagnostic imaging or tracer studies, as it is strictly reserved for therapeutic interventions.
- Avoid billing X328 in isolation if a separate procedural intervention, such as a therapeutic phlebotomy or paracentesis, was performed during the same encounter, as these should be claimed as additional benefits.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that the associated visit or consultation code is billed alongside X328 to capture the full scope of the clinical assessment and treatment planning performed.
