L030 – L030
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L030 for the collection of a venous blood specimen by venipuncture when performed as a standalone service.
- Bill L030 when a patient presents specifically for blood work ordered by another physician or for routine monitoring where no other assessment code is claimed.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L030 in addition to an office visit code (A007, A001) as the venipuncture is considered bundled into the assessment fee.
- Avoid billing L030 when the blood draw is performed by a nurse or lab technician in a facility where the physician is not directly providing the service.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition clearly indicates the physician performed the venipuncture if an audit occurs, as this code is frequently flagged for manual review.
