Z706
Z706 – Testis biopsy with vasography
OHIP Psychiatric Code — MALE GENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
A surgical biopsy of the testis performed in conjunction with a vasography.
When to Use
- Use Z706 when performing a diagnostic testicular biopsy specifically in the context of an infertility workup that requires concurrent vasography to assess ductal patency.
- Use this code for patients undergoing surgical exploration where both tissue sampling of the testis and contrast imaging of the vas deferens are required to investigate obstructive azoospermia.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Z706 if only a testicular biopsy is performed; use the appropriate biopsy code (e.g., Z704) instead, as Z706 specifically mandates the inclusion of vasography.
- Avoid billing Z706 alongside separate diagnostic radiology codes for the vasography, as the fee for Z706 is inclusive of the combined procedure.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly documents both the biopsy technique and the successful completion of the vasography to justify the combined fee.
- If the procedure is performed on both sides, ensure you are billing according to the Schedule of Benefits rules for bilateral procedures, as Z706 is typically a unilateral fee.
