L492 – L492
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L492 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone service.
- Apply this code when ordering a routine hemoglobin or hematocrit test for a patient during an office visit.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L492 in addition to a comprehensive assessment code if the laboratory service is considered part of the global fee for the visit.
- Avoid billing L492 multiple times for the same patient on the same day, as the Ministry will reject duplicate laboratory requisitions.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the patient's diagnostic record to avoid rejection during Ministry audits.
