L373 – L373
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L373 when performing a direct laryngoscopy for the purpose of removing a foreign body from the larynx.
- Apply this code when the procedure is limited to the visualization and extraction of a foreign object without requiring more extensive surgical intervention.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L373 in conjunction with more comprehensive laryngoscopy codes like E601, as this will trigger a rejection for duplicate or overlapping services.
- Avoid billing L373 if the procedure is performed as part of a more complex operative laryngoscopy, as the higher-valued procedure code should be used instead.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical note explicitly describes the foreign body and the specific maneuver used for extraction to support the use of L373 over a standard diagnostic laryngoscopy.
