Peritonectomy surgery - (item 30732)
Item 30732 (peritonectomy of duration greater than 5 hours, including hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy) represents a complete medical service and is inclusive of all procedures performed as part of peritonectomy surgery and chemotherapy. Accordingly, item 30732 cannot be co-claimed with the MBS items for the individual procedures performed as part of the surgery or chemotherapy items.
Note the time requirement for item 30732 refers to operative time only, not overall theatre utilisation time.
On the occasion that peritonectomy surgery is completed in less than 5 hours, and therefore not meeting the item requirements for item 30732, it may be appropriate for relevant individual procedure and chemotherapy items to be claimed, if the requirements of these items are met, with application of the multiple operations rule.
