L338 – L338
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L338 when billing for the professional component of a diagnostic ultrasound service performed in a facility setting where the technical component is covered by the hospital.
- Apply this code in conjunction with the appropriate diagnostic ultrasound fee code to indicate the physician's interpretation and supervision of the procedure.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L338 as a standalone service without an associated diagnostic ultrasound fee code will result in an automatic rejection.
- Attempting to bill L338 for office-based ultrasounds where the physician owns the equipment is incorrect, as this code is specific to hospital or facility-based professional fees.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic ultrasound code is billed on the same claim as L338 to satisfy the requirement for the professional interpretation component.
