C008 – Concurrent care
OHIP Consultations and Visits Code — CONSULTATIONS AND VISITS · Schedule of Benefits
A routine assessment rendered in hospital by a consultant following the consultant’s first major assessment of the patient when the family physician remains the most responsible physician (MRP) but the latter requests continued directive care by the consultant.
The service must follow the consultant's first major assessment of the patient.
The MRP must explicitly request continued directive care from the consultant.
The service must be a routine assessment (rounds).
Usage limits
Limited to 4 per week during the first week of concurrent care, and 2 claims per week thereafter. Services in excess of this limit are not eligible for payment.
C008 is listed on page under the heading 'Subsequent visits by the MRP following transfer from an Intensive Care Area', but its general definition and rules apply to any concurrent care scenario in a hospital setting.
Concurrent care is distinct from Supportive Care (C010), which is for liaison/reassurance rather than directive treatment.
