L018 – L018
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L018 for the laboratory requisition of a simple hemoglobin test when performed as a standalone service.
- Apply this code when billing for a routine glucose test requisition that does not qualify for more complex laboratory fee codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L018 in addition to a comprehensive office visit code like A007, as the laboratory fee is considered bundled into the visit fee.
- Avoid using L018 for complex panels or specialized tests that have their own specific, higher-value laboratory billing codes.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the patient's diagnostic record to justify the claim during a Ministry audit.
