L098 – L098
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L098 for the laboratory requisition of a routine complete blood count (CBC) when performed in a physician's office or community lab setting.
- Apply this code when ordering standard hematological investigations that do not fall under more specific, higher-value laboratory requisition codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L098 in conjunction with a full physical examination (A007) is often flagged as an unbundled service if the lab work is considered part of the global assessment fee.
- Submitting L098 for tests that are already included in a specialized panel or diagnostic procedure code will result in a rejection for duplicate billing.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to a specific diagnostic code to avoid audit triggers regarding medical necessity.
