L704 – L704
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L704 for the laboratory requisition of a complete blood count (CBC) when performed as a standalone service or in conjunction with an office visit.
- Apply this code when ordering a hemoglobin and hematocrit test as part of an anemia workup or routine screening.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L704 alongside a comprehensive assessment code like A007 is often flagged if the laboratory requisition is not clearly linked to the diagnostic necessity of the visit.
- Duplicate billing occurs when L704 is submitted for the same patient on the same day as other hematology-related laboratory codes, which may trigger automatic rejection by the Ministry.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition form is physically or electronically signed and dated, as auditors frequently cross-reference the L704 claim date with the requisition date.
