OHIP Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
G522 represents each quarter-hour (or part thereof) of life-threatening critical care provided by a physician after the initial 30 minutes (billed as G521 and G523). This service is rendered when a physician provides critical care to a critically ill or critically injured patient. For the purpose of this service, a critical illness or critical injury is one that acutely impairs one or more vital organ system(s) causing vital organ system failure as a result of which imminent life threatening deterioration in the patient's condition is highly probable. The physician's time must be fully devoted to the patient's care at the bedside, in the emergency department, or on the hospital floor. Time can be counted consecutively or non-consecutively.
