L336 – L336
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L336 to bill 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 processed on-site, distinguishing it from in-office point-of-care testing codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L336 in conjunction with a visit fee (A007/A001) for the same patient on the same day is often flagged if the documentation does not clearly support the separate collection procedure.
- Submitting L336 for specimens that were collected by the patient at home or by a separate laboratory facility will result in a rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure your chart notes explicitly state that the specimen was collected in the office and prepared for transport to a third-party lab to justify the handling fee.
