L777 – L777
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L777 to bill 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 standard hematology investigations that do not require more complex diagnostic panels covered under higher-valued laboratory codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L777 in addition to a comprehensive assessment code if the laboratory work is considered an integral part of the diagnostic process already covered by the visit fee.
- Avoid duplicate billing by ensuring L777 is not submitted on the same day as other laboratory codes that already encompass CBC testing within their defined scope.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition is clearly linked to the patient's diagnostic code to prevent automated rejections for lack of medical necessity.
