L682 – L682
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L682 for the professional fee associated with the interpretation of a single diagnostic ECG tracing.
- Apply this code when billing for the technical component of an ECG performed in the office setting, provided the equipment is physician-owned.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L682 in conjunction with a consultation or assessment code (e.g., A007) for the same patient on the same day is often flagged for audit as the ECG is considered part of the physical examination.
- Submitting L682 without the corresponding diagnostic code that justifies the medical necessity of the ECG tracing will result in automatic rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the ECG tracing is retained in the patient's medical record, as the Ministry may request the physical strip to validate the claim during a post-payment audit.
