L452 – L452
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L452 when performing a routine urinalysis via dipstick in the office to assess for conditions like UTI or hematuria.
- Bill L452 when the clinical assessment requires immediate point-of-care urine analysis that is not part of a comprehensive laboratory panel.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L452 in conjunction with G009 or other office visit codes if the urinalysis is considered an integral component of the examination fee.
- Avoid billing L452 if the specimen is sent to an external laboratory for analysis, as the lab will bill the technical component directly.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical indication for the urinalysis is clearly noted in the chart to justify the necessity of the test during an audit.
