Z747 – Popliteal
OHIP Psychiatric Code — CARDIOVASCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This service is for the surgical ligation of the popliteal vein. As a surgical procedure, the fee includes all common elements as described in the Schedule of Benefits (:27, :28) and specific elements for surgical services. The surgeon's fee is for the procedure itself, while fees for a surgical assistant and anaesthesiologist are calculated separately based on basic and time units. - Assistant: 6 base units (:664, :99) - Anaesthesia: 7 base units (:664, :106)
When to Use
- Use Z747 specifically for the surgical ligation of the popliteal vein when performed as a distinct procedure.
- Select Z747 when the procedure is non-elective, allowing for the potential application of after-hours premiums E410 or E409.
Common Pitfalls
- Attempting to bill for a second surgical assistant without prior authorization; Z747 is not on the list for automatic second assistant payment per GP90:104.
- Failing to document the specific start time of the procedure, which is a mandatory requirement for claiming after-hours or night premiums like E401B or E401C.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the surgical start time is clearly recorded in the operative report to support the eligibility of E401B and E401C premiums.
