L552 – L552
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L552 for the professional component of a diagnostic Pap smear screening in an office setting.
- Apply this code when performing a cervical cytology collection during a periodic health examination or focused gynecological visit.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L552 in combination with a full physical examination code (K013) is often rejected as the collection is considered part of the global assessment.
- Submitting L552 when the specimen is processed in-house rather than sent to a laboratory for cytology analysis will result in a claim rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the service date to avoid discrepancies during OHIP reconciliation.
