L482 – L482
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L482 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed in a community or hospital lab setting.
- Apply this code when ordering a standard hematology profile that includes hemoglobin, hematocrit, red cell indices, and white cell count.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L482 in conjunction with L483, as this constitutes unbundling of hematology services.
- Avoid billing L482 for point-of-care testing performed within the office, as this code is strictly for laboratory requisitions.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic code linked to L482 justifies the hematological investigation to avoid automated rejection for lack of medical necessity.
