L183 – L183
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L183 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone diagnostic test.
- Use this code when ordering a basic hematology profile for routine screening or monitoring of stable chronic conditions.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L183 in conjunction with a comprehensive panel code that already includes a CBC will result in a rejection for duplicate service.
- Submitting L183 without a valid diagnostic code (ICD-9) that justifies the medical necessity of the hematology investigation will trigger an automatic audit flag.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic code linked to L183 is specific to the clinical indication, such as anemia (285) or fatigue (780), rather than using generic codes to avoid payment delays.
