Z908 – Debridement of mastoid cavity or ear - under general anaesthetic
OHIP Ocular and Aural Surgical Procedures Code — AURAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Debridement of mastoid cavities, and/or ears with significant external or middle ear pathology. This procedure is performed under general anaesthetic, with or without the repair of a small perforation. It is a unilateral service and is only eligible for payment when it is the sole ear procedure(s) performed.
Note:
1. Debridement must be performed under microscopy. Services performed using loupes or magnifying headlights, or for the removal of cerumen, do not qualify for this code.
2. G420 is not eligible for payment in conjunction with Z908.
3. For contralateral procedures, Z908 is payable at 85% of the listed fee.
Must be performed under microscopy; use of loupes or magnifying headlights is not sufficient.
Debridement not performed under microscopy (e.g. if performed using loupes or magnifying headlights) or in the absence of significant external or middle ear pathology, or for removal of cerumen does not constitute Z907 or Z908.
G420 is not eligible for payment in conjunction with Z906, Z907, Z908 or Z913.
For contralateral procedures, Z907 and Z908 are payable at 85% of the listed fee.
