Q402 – Q402
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q402 to bill for the completion of a mandatory Ministry of Health form or certificate when no other specific fee code exists for the service.
- Apply this code when documenting the necessity of a specific medical device or service that requires a formal physician sign-off for provincial coverage.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q402 in conjunction with a standard office visit code like A007, as the Ministry considers the administrative work included in the visit fee.
- Avoid using Q402 for private notes or letters to third parties; these are uninsured services that should be billed directly to the patient, not OHIP.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the specific form or certificate name is clearly referenced in your billing notes to justify the administrative claim if audited.
