L778 – L778
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L778 for the professional component of a diagnostic Pap smear screening in an office setting.
- Apply this code when the physician performs the cervical cytology collection and prepares the specimen for laboratory analysis.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill L778 in conjunction with a general assessment code like A007, as the assessment is considered inclusive of the procedure.
- Billing L778 on the same day as a pelvic examination code (G465) will result in a rejection for duplicate service or unbundling.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the laboratory requisition clearly indicates the screening purpose to justify the professional fee component.
