Explanation
Updated October 26, 2026
Dilatation of the female urethra under general anaesthetic.
What it covers
Z620 is dilatation of the urethra in a female patient under general anaesthetic (T11).
Billing rules
- Use when a general anaesthetic is needed; otherwise bill Z622 (T11, SP5 §19).
- No claim for dilating the female urethra at the same time as cystoscopy (T6 preamble §3).
- Payable at nil when claimed with Z615 (T11).
- A Z-code is an independent operative procedure: if your major pre-operative visit was in the past 12 months, only a minor assessment (family physicians) or partial assessment (specialists) is payable before it that day; if the major pre-op visit is the same day, no other assessment before it is payable (SP4 §13).
Common rejections
- A2B: OHIP describes this as 'Wrong sex for service': Z620 is listed for female patients; check the patient's sex on the claim (T11).
