L658 – L658
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L658 for the collection of a specimen for a Pap smear during a routine or problem-based office visit.
- Apply this code when performing a cervical or vaginal smear for cytology, distinct from the professional fee of the office visit itself.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L658 in conjunction with a K030 or K031 periodic health examination is disallowed as the specimen collection is considered included in the comprehensive visit fee.
- Submitting L658 alongside a minor procedure code that already includes the cost of specimen collection will trigger a rejection for duplicate service.
Billing Tips
- Ensure L658 is billed as a separate line item from the primary consultation or assessment code to avoid bundling denials.
