L304 – L304
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L304 for the collection of a cervical smear (Pap test) when performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with a visit.
- Bill this code when performing a diagnostic cervical smear for symptomatic patients, distinct from routine screening visits.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L304 in addition to a general assessment code if the smear is performed during a comprehensive physical examination, as it is considered bundled.
- Avoid billing L304 if the specimen is collected by a nurse or other staff member, as the physician must perform the collection to claim the fee.
Billing Tips
- You may bill L304 alongside a minor assessment code (e.g., A007) if the patient presents with a specific complaint requiring an examination beyond the smear collection itself.
