Q022 – Q022
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q022 to claim the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) incentive for patients with diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, or COPD who have had a comprehensive assessment.
- Apply this code annually for patients enrolled in your practice who meet the specific chronic disease criteria to trigger the incentive payment associated with the Q022 fee schedule.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Q022 for a patient who does not have a confirmed diagnosis of one of the four eligible chronic conditions will result in an automatic rejection.
- Attempting to claim Q022 in the same year as a K030 or K031 assessment for the same patient can lead to reconciliation errors or audit flags regarding duplicate service claims.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's diagnosis is clearly coded in your EMR to satisfy the Ministry's validation requirements for the Q022 incentive payment.
- Verify that the patient has not already had a Q022 claimed by another physician in the same fiscal year to avoid claim rejection.
