L002 – L002
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L002 for the collection of a specimen for a Pap smear when performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a periodic health examination.
- Bill L002 when performing a cervical or vaginal smear for cytology, distinct from the assessment fee of an office visit (A007 or A001).
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L002 in conjunction with a minor assessment (A001) is often flagged; ensure the clinical note clearly distinguishes the procedure from the assessment.
- Submitting L002 when the cytology is performed as part of a comprehensive periodic health visit (K013) is redundant as the procedure is often considered included in the global fee.
Billing Tips
- Always append the appropriate diagnostic code for the Pap smear, such as V76.2 for routine screening, to avoid automatic rejection for lack of medical necessity.
