L309 – L309
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L309 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone service or in conjunction with a consultation.
- Bill L309 when ordering a routine hematology profile for a patient presenting with symptoms of fatigue or suspected anemia.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L309 in addition to a comprehensive laboratory panel code if the panel already includes the CBC, as this constitutes unbundling.
- Avoid billing L309 if the laboratory service is performed by a hospital-based lab that bills the Ministry directly, as this will result in a rejection for duplicate billing.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic code linked to L309 matches the clinical indication documented in the patient chart to avoid automated audit flags.
