L106 – L106
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L106 for the initial diagnostic assessment of a patient presenting with a suspected psychiatric condition when a formal mental status examination is required.
- Select L106 when providing a comprehensive psychiatric consultation for a patient referred by another physician, provided the criteria for a formal consultation are met.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L106 in conjunction with a general assessment code like A007 for the same patient on the same day will trigger an automatic rejection for duplicate service.
- Submitting L106 without a valid referring physician number in the claim record will result in a rejection, as this is a consultation-based service.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical notes explicitly document the psychiatric assessment components to justify the L106 fee over a standard office visit code.
