OHIP Digestive System Surgical Procedures Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Elective oesophagoscopy-gastroscopy, with or without duodenoscopy. This is a surgical procedure to visually examine the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). It is performed on an elective basis. As a surgical procedure, it includes the common elements of an insured service as defined in the Schedule of Benefits (-14) and the specific elements for surgical procedures, such as pre-operative evaluation, the procedure itself, and post-operative care.
Z292 rendered in association with oesophagoscopy and oesophagoscopy-gastroscopy services is not eligible for payment unless the laryngoscopy service is rendered for suspicion of disease of the larynx. Claims for Z292 in these circumstances are assessed by a medical consultant on a manual review basis and require the submission of a written explanation.
