L344 – L344
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L344 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when ordered as a standalone diagnostic test.
- Apply this code when ordering a CBC to monitor hematological status in patients with chronic conditions like anemia or during chemotherapy.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L344 in addition to a comprehensive diagnostic panel code if the CBC is already included as a component of that panel.
- Avoid billing L344 on the same day as a general assessment code if the laboratory requisition is the only service provided, as it may be flagged as unbundled.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic code linked to L344 matches the clinical indication documented in the chart to prevent automated rejection by the Ministry.
