L734 – L734
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L734 when billing for the professional component of a diagnostic ultrasound procedure performed in a clinical setting.
- Apply this code specifically when the ultrasound examination is interpreted and reported by the physician, distinct from the technical component.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L734 in conjunction with a consultation or assessment code (A007) for the same patient on the same day often triggers an automatic rejection due to bundling rules.
- Failing to include the mandatory diagnostic code that justifies the medical necessity of the ultrasound will result in an immediate claim rejection.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the ultrasound report is stored in the patient's chart with a formal interpretation to withstand potential Ministry audits regarding the professional component.
