L226 – L226
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L226 to bill for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone service.
- Apply this code when submitting a requisition for a basic urinalysis or a single routine chemistry test.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L226 in addition to a comprehensive assessment or consultation fee, as the laboratory requisition is considered bundled into the visit fee.
- Avoid billing L226 multiple times on the same day for the same patient; it is a single-unit service regardless of the number of tests requested on the requisition.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the patient's OHIP number to avoid automated rejection for missing patient identifiers.
