L306 – L306
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L306 for the collection of a venous blood sample via venipuncture when the physician performs the procedure personally.
- Bill L306 when a patient requires a blood draw that is not part of a more comprehensive procedure code that already includes specimen collection.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L306 in addition to a visit fee (e.g., A007) if the blood collection is considered an integral part of the assessment and management of the patient.
- Avoid billing L306 if the blood draw is performed by nursing or laboratory staff, as this code is intended for physician-performed collection.
Billing Tips
- L306 is a non-insured service in many clinical settings; ensure you are billing the patient directly if the collection is for non-medically necessary testing or if your practice policy dictates private collection fees.
