C088 – Concurrent care
OHIP Consultations and Visits Code — CONSULTATIONS AND VISITS · Schedule of Benefits
Concurrent care is 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 be a routine assessment.
The consultant must be providing directive care at the request of the MRP.
The consultant must have previously performed a major assessment (Consultation or Specific Assessment) for the patient during the same admission.
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.
C088 is specific to Plastic Surgery (08). Other specialties use different codes for concurrent care (e.g., C008 for GP, C018 for General Surgery).
If the physician becomes the MRP, they should bill the appropriate MRP subsequent visit codes (e.g., C082, C122) instead of C088.
Not eligible for Age-based fee premiums () or Special Visit Premiums () when rendered during routine rounds.
