L387 – L387
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L387 for the professional component of a diagnostic Pap smear screening when performed in an office setting.
- Apply this code when submitting the technical component for a cytology specimen that is sent to a laboratory for interpretation.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L387 in conjunction with a comprehensive physical examination code (e.g., A007) is often flagged as unbundling if the Pap smear is the sole reason for the visit.
- Submitting L387 without the corresponding laboratory requisition number or site-specific diagnostic code will result in an automatic rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic code used reflects the specific reason for the screening (e.g., routine screening vs. follow-up of abnormal results) to avoid payment delays.
