L130 – L130
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L130 for the collection of a cervical smear (Pap test) when performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a general examination.
- Bill L130 when obtaining a vaginal or cervical swab for diagnostic purposes, such as testing for sexually transmitted infections or vaginitis.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L130 in addition to a comprehensive assessment code like A007, as the procedure is considered included in the global fee of the assessment.
- Avoid billing L130 if the specimen collection was performed by a nurse or other staff member, as this code is intended for physician-performed procedures.
Billing Tips
- L130 is a laboratory handling fee and should be billed alongside the relevant diagnostic lab requisition code if applicable.
Provider Fee$19.10
