L329 – L329
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L329 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone service or in conjunction with other lab tests.
- Apply this code when submitting a requisition for a standard hematology profile that does not meet the criteria for more complex or specialized hematological investigations.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L329 in addition to a comprehensive panel code that already includes a CBC, which will trigger a rejection for duplicate service.
- Failing to ensure the diagnostic code linked to L329 justifies the medical necessity of the hematology investigation, leading to potential audit flags.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that L329 is only billed once per patient per encounter, even if multiple hematology parameters are requested on the same requisition form.
