G844
G844 – Meningococcal C Conjugate (Men-C)
OHIP Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use G844 when administering the Meningococcal C conjugate vaccine to eligible patients during a dedicated immunization appointment.
- Apply G844 in conjunction with G700 when the patient presents exclusively for the immunization and no other assessment or counselling service is billed.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing G844 alongside W010 is a common rejection, as immunization services are considered included in the monthly management fee for nursing home patients.
- Attempting to claim G700 on the same day as an assessment or consultation code (e.g., A007) will result in the rejection of the G700 premium.
- Failure to document the specific non-physician staff member who administered the vaccine when the procedure is delegated will lead to audit non-compliance.
Billing Tips
- Always append G700 to G844 only when the immunization is the sole reason for the visit to maximize the claim value by $5.60.
