L321 – L321
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L321 for the laboratory handling fee when you collect a specimen in your office and forward it to a laboratory for analysis.
- Apply this code when the specimen is not analyzed on-site, distinguishing it from point-of-care testing codes that require in-office processing.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L321 in conjunction with a visit fee for the same patient on the same day is often flagged if the visit was solely for the specimen collection.
- Submitting L321 when the laboratory analysis is performed by the physician or office staff rather than an external facility will result in a rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition clearly indicates the specimen was collected at your office to support the claim during a potential audit.
