L058 – L058
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L058 for the professional component of a diagnostic Pap smear or cytology specimen collection when performed in a clinical setting.
- Bill this code when the physician performs the physical collection of the specimen, distinct from the laboratory analysis fee.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L058 in conjunction with a full physical examination code (e.g., K013 or A007) is often rejected as the collection is considered bundled into the comprehensive assessment.
- Submitting L058 for a patient encounter where no specimen was actually collected or processed, leading to potential recovery during an audit.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the date of service to support the claim if the Ministry requests proof of specimen submission.
