L462 – L462
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L462 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone diagnostic test.
- Apply this code when ordering a basic hematology profile for routine screening or monitoring of stable chronic conditions.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L462 in conjunction with a comprehensive panel code if the specific components are already bundled under a single requisition fee.
- Avoid billing L462 if the laboratory service is performed within a hospital setting where the facility fee covers the requisition process.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic code linked to L462 justifies the medical necessity of the CBC to prevent automated rejections during claims processing.
