L568 – L568
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L568 for the laboratory requisition and processing of a standard complete blood count (CBC) when performed in-office.
- Use this code when billing for the technical component of a basic hematology test that does not require more complex analysis covered by higher-tier laboratory codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L568 in conjunction with a physician office visit fee (A007) if the laboratory work is considered part of the global fee for the assessment.
- Avoid billing L568 for tests that are sent to an external hospital or community laboratory, as the facility performing the test is responsible for the technical fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the diagnostic code that justifies the medical necessity of the CBC to prevent automated rejections.
