L061 – L061
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L061 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone service or in conjunction with an office visit.
- Apply this code when ordering a hemoglobin and hematocrit test specifically to monitor anemia or blood loss in a primary care setting.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L061 in addition to a comprehensive assessment code like A007 is often flagged if the laboratory requisition is not clearly linked to the diagnostic necessity of the visit.
- Submitting L061 for tests that are already bundled into the global fee of a procedure or a specific diagnostic panel will result in a rejection for duplicate billing.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition form is physically or electronically signed and dated to match the date of service submitted for L061 to avoid audit recovery.
