L266 – L266
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L266 for the professional component of a diagnostic Pap smear collection performed during an office visit.
- Bill L266 when a cervical screening is performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with a minor assessment, provided the criteria for a full physical exam are not met.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L266 in addition to a comprehensive physical exam code (K013) is considered double-dipping, as the collection is included in the physical fee.
- Submitting L266 without a corresponding diagnostic code for the screening or follow-up will result in automatic rejection.
Billing Tips
- You may claim a minor assessment code (A007) alongside L266 if a separate clinical issue is addressed during the same encounter, provided you use the appropriate diagnostic codes.
Provider Fee$9.12
