L080
L080 – Glucose, quantitative
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
A laboratory medicine procedure for the quantitative measurement of glucose in a specimen.
When to Use
- Use L080 exclusively when operating as a licensed private laboratory facility, as this code is restricted to laboratory-based services.
- Use L080 for quantitative glucose analysis when the service is performed outside of the physician's own office setting.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L080 for in-office glucose testing is a common audit trigger; G002 must be used for all point-of-care testing performed in the physician's own office.
- Submitting L080 without a documented interpretative report in the patient record will lead to clawbacks during Ministry audits.
Billing Tips
- Always append G489 when performing the venipuncture required to obtain the specimen for the L080 analysis to ensure appropriate compensation for the collection process.
