Dorsal slit of the foreskin (prepuce) in an adult or child.
What it covers
S569 is a slit of the prepuce in an adult or child (U1). Newborns are S567 and infants S568; circumcision is S573 (age 1+) or S577 (under 1) (U1).
Billing rules
- The fee includes pre-op preparation, the operation and post-op care up to the first post-op visit, but not the major pre-operative visit, which is billed separately (SP1, SP2 §1).
- Patients under 16 get a surgical age premium of 10% to 30%, depending on age (GP64).
- When no anaesthetic is needed, claim the local anaesthetic listing (SP5 §19); an anaesthetic or block you give for your own procedure is not payable, except G224 for a post-op pain block lasting over 4 hours (SP5 §20).
