L600 – L600
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L600 for the laboratory handling fee when you collect a specimen in your office and send it to an external laboratory for analysis.
- Apply this code when the specimen collection requires professional time and supplies, such as a venipuncture or a swab, that is not otherwise covered by a visit fee.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L600 if the laboratory analysis is performed in-house, as this fee is specifically for the handling and transport of specimens to an outside facility.
- Avoid billing L600 in conjunction with a full physical examination or a comprehensive office visit where the collection is considered an incidental part of the global fee.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the referring laboratory's requisition is clearly documented in the patient chart to support the L600 claim in the event of an audit.
