Q120A – Cumulative Preventive Care Management Service Enhancement Code (Preventive Care Bonus) Colorectal Cancer Screening - 40%
OHIP Critical Care Code — APPENDIX Q · Schedule of Benefits
The Q120A is a Cumulative Preventive Care Management Service Enhancement Code, also known as a Preventive Care Bonus. It represents the 40% achievement level for the colorectal cancer screening target, with an associated bonus value of $1100. This code is intended for physicians in eligible models (RNPGA, BSM, GHC, SJHC, SEAMO, WHA, CCM, and FHG) who meet the minimum roster size. The code itself is to be billed at $0.00, as it serves to track and trigger the bonus payment.
When to Use
- Use Q120A when your rostered patient population achieves a 40% screening rate for colorectal cancer according to the Ministry's quarterly Preventive Care Bonus report.
- Submit this code only when your specific model (e.g., FHG, CCM) confirms you have met the minimum roster size requirements for the current fiscal period.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Q120A prematurely before the Ministry's official quarterly report confirms the 40% threshold has been met will result in a rejection or manual adjustment.
- Attempting to bill Q120A when you have already qualified for a higher tier, such as Q121A (50%) or Q122A (60%), is redundant and may cause administrative errors.
Billing Tips
- Always cross-reference your internal screening logs with the Ministry’s 'Preventive Care Bonus' report before submission to ensure the 40% threshold is mathematically confirmed.
