Q142 – Q142
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q142 as the mandatory tracking code when billing for the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine to patients aged 12 and older.
- Apply this code alongside the appropriate injection fee (e.g., G538) to indicate the specific nature of the immunization service provided.
Common Pitfalls
- Failing to include Q142 on the same claim as the injection fee will result in the rejection of the immunization service payment.
- Billing Q142 for patients under 12 years of age is incorrect, as different tracking codes are required for pediatric COVID-19 vaccine administration.
Billing Tips
- Ensure Q142 is submitted with a zero-dollar amount, as it serves strictly as a diagnostic or tracking indicator rather than a fee-bearing service.
