L154 – L154
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L154 for the collection of a cervical smear (Pap test) when performed as a standalone procedure or during a periodic health examination.
- Bill this code when performing a cervical screening in a patient who is not otherwise eligible for a comprehensive assessment code like A007 or A008.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L154 in addition to a general assessment code (A007, A008) as the cervical screening is considered included in the global fee for the assessment.
- Avoid billing L154 if the primary purpose of the visit is the management of a specific gynecological complaint, as this may be captured under a standard office visit code (A001).
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the screening indication to support the medical necessity of the L154 claim during potential audits.
