L379 – L379
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L379 for the laboratory requisition of a routine complete blood count (CBC) when performed in a community or hospital lab setting.
- Apply this code when ordering a standard hemoglobin and hematocrit assessment for monitoring chronic conditions like iron deficiency anemia.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L379 in conjunction with a consultation or assessment code (e.g., A007) is often flagged as an unbundled service if the lab is considered part of the global fee.
- Submitting L379 for point-of-care testing performed within the office is incorrect, as this code is specifically for laboratory requisitions processed by an external facility.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic code linked to L379 matches the clinical indication on the requisition to avoid automated rejection for lack of medical necessity.
