L122 – L122
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L122 for the collection of a venous blood sample by venipuncture when the patient is not an inpatient.
- Bill this code when performing a venipuncture for laboratory testing that is not already included in a comprehensive visit fee or specific procedure code.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L122 in addition to a consultation or assessment (e.g., A007) as the venipuncture is considered part of the office visit.
- Avoid billing L122 when the blood draw is performed by a nurse or technician in a facility where the cost is already covered by the global laboratory budget.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition clearly indicates the necessity of the venipuncture to support the claim if audited.
