L191 – L191
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L191 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed in a community setting.
- Apply this code when ordering a standard hemoglobin and hematocrit test as a standalone laboratory requisition.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L191 in conjunction with a full office visit code like A007, as the laboratory handling fee is considered bundled into the visit fee.
- Avoid billing L191 for tests performed within a hospital setting, as these are covered under global hospital budgets rather than individual physician billings.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the diagnostic purpose to avoid rejection for lack of medical necessity.
