L819 – Basic seminal fluid analysis for infertility
OHIP Dermatology Code — DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Basic seminal fluid analysis for infertility, including count, motility and morphology
When to Use
- Use L819 when performing a comprehensive semen analysis for infertility that includes count, motility, and morphology as defined by current WHO standards.
- Use L819 as the primary diagnostic code for initial male factor infertility investigations, rather than billing individual components separately.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L820 on the same day as L819 will trigger an automatic rejection because L820 is considered an integral component of the L819 procedure.
- Submitting L819 without documentation of all three required elements (count, motility, and morphology) is a frequent cause of audit recovery.
Billing Tips
- Ensure your laboratory report template explicitly lists count, motility, and morphology to align with the WHO manual requirements mandated by the L819 service definition.
