L660 – L660
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L660 for the professional component of a diagnostic Pap smear or cervical cytology screening when performed in a clinical setting.
- Apply this code when submitting the technical component of a cytology specimen that has been processed and interpreted according to OHIP laboratory guidelines.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L660 in conjunction with a general assessment code like A007 is often rejected unless the Pap smear is the sole reason for the visit and documented as a distinct service.
- Submitting L660 for a diagnostic biopsy or histology specimen is incorrect; these require specific pathology codes rather than cytology-based billing.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition clearly indicates the cytology screening intent to avoid claim rejection during automated Ministry audits.
