Z758 – Fulguration of condylomata - general anaesthetic
OHIP Psychiatric Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Fulguration of condylomata under general anaesthetic. This is a surgical procedure for the destruction of lesions, listed in the Digestive System section of the Schedule. As a '#'-prefixed service, when performed in a hospital or Integrated Community Health Services Centre (ICHSC), the costs for premises, equipment, supplies, and personnel are funded by the facility and cannot be charged to the patient, as per .
When to Use
- Use Z758 when performing surgical fulguration of condylomata specifically under general anaesthetic in a hospital or ICHSC setting.
- Select Z758 over office-based destruction codes like Z549 when the complexity or extent of the lesions necessitates general anaesthesia.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Z758 in an office setting is incorrect; this code is intended for hospital or ICHSC environments where facility costs are covered.
- Attempting to bill Z758 alongside office-based lesion destruction codes for the same encounter will result in a rejection for duplicate service.
- Failing to recognize that Z758 is a '#'-prefixed service, which prohibits charging the patient for any supplies or equipment used during the procedure.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the anaesthetic record clearly documents the use of general anaesthesia to support the use of Z758 over lower-intensity procedural codes.
- Apply the appropriate age premium (e.g., AGE_PREMIUM_UNDER_16_YEARS) if the patient qualifies, as Z758 is eligible for these percentage-based increases.
