X339 – Placement of fiducial markers into the vagina
OHIP Laboratory Code · Schedule of Benefits
Placement of fiducial markers into the vagina
When to Use
- Use X339 specifically when placing vaginal fiducial markers to facilitate image-guided radiation therapy for gynecological malignancies.
- Select X339 when the procedure is performed as a standalone service or as part of the simulation process for external beam radiotherapy.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing for image guidance or ultrasound assistance separately is a common error, as X339 is inclusive of all imaging required for placement.
- Submitting X339 alongside other procedural codes for the same anatomical site may trigger a rejection if the Ministry deems the services bundled under a global radiation oncology fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical record clearly distinguishes X339 from other marker placements like X337 to avoid audit flags regarding site-specific procedural requirements.
