L332 – L332
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L332 when billing for the laboratory requisition of a routine complete blood count (CBC) or similar diagnostic test performed in a community setting.
- Apply this code when the physician is acting as the ordering provider for a laboratory service that does not fall under the higher-complexity diagnostic fee categories.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L332 in conjunction with a full assessment code like A007 is often flagged if the laboratory work is considered part of the global fee for the office visit.
- Submitting L332 for tests that are already bundled into a specific procedure code or a global surgical fee will result in an automatic rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to a specific diagnostic indication in the patient chart to defend against potential post-payment audits regarding medical necessity.
