L544 – L544
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L544 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone service.
- Apply this code when billing for a routine hemoglobin and hematocrit test performed in a laboratory setting.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L544 in conjunction with an office visit fee (A007) if the laboratory work is considered part of the global assessment.
- Avoid billing L544 for tests that are already included in a comprehensive panel or profile code to prevent duplicate claim rejections.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition clearly specifies the test components to justify the L544 fee during an audit.
