L184 – L184
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L184 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone service or in conjunction with a consultation.
- Apply this code when ordering a standard hematology panel for diagnostic purposes that does not meet the criteria for more complex or specialized laboratory investigations.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L184 in addition to a comprehensive assessment code that already includes the cost of laboratory requisitions within its global fee structure.
- Submitting L184 for tests that are already bundled into a specific diagnostic procedure code, leading to automatic rejection for duplicate billing.
Billing Tips
- Ensure L184 is only billed when the physician is responsible for the requisition process and the laboratory service is not otherwise covered by a global facility or procedure fee.
