L093 – L093
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L093 for the collection of a venous blood sample by venipuncture when performed by the physician or their staff in the office setting.
- Bill this code when the primary purpose of the patient visit is the collection of blood for laboratory testing, rather than a consultation or assessment.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L093 in conjunction with a consultation or assessment code (e.g., A007) as the blood collection is considered included in the office visit fee.
- Avoid billing L093 if the blood draw is performed by a laboratory technician in a separate facility, as the fee is intended for the physician's office overhead.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition clearly indicates the date and location of the draw to support the claim if audited against the patient's chart.
