L620 – L620
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L620 for the professional component of a diagnostic Pap smear when the physician performs the collection and interpretation of the specimen.
- Apply this code when submitting for a cervical cytology screening that meets the provincial criteria for routine or diagnostic testing.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L620 in conjunction with a general assessment code like A007 if the visit is exclusively for the Pap smear collection, as the fee is intended to be inclusive.
- Avoid billing L620 if the specimen is sent to a laboratory that bills the professional component directly, as this results in a duplicate billing rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the diagnostic code associated with the Pap smear is specific to the clinical indication, such as abnormal findings or high-risk screening, to avoid payment delays.
