Q532 – Q532
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q532 to bill for the completion of a Ministry of Health approved form that does not have a specific fee code assigned, typically for third-party administrative requests.
- Apply this code when submitting a report requested by a government agency where the service is not covered by a standard office visit fee like A007.
- Utilize Q532 when the service involves the administrative processing of specific forms mandated by the Ministry that are explicitly designated for this billing code.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Q532 in conjunction with a standard assessment code like A007 for the same patient encounter often leads to rejection for unbundling.
- Using Q532 for private insurance forms or employer-requested sick notes is incorrect, as these are non-insured services that should be billed directly to the patient.
- Failing to include the required diagnostic code or specific form identifier can trigger an automatic rejection from the Ministry.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the specific form name or reference number is clearly noted in your billing software to justify the use of Q532 during a potential audit.
- Verify that the requested form is indeed a Ministry-approved document, as Q532 is strictly reserved for government-mandated administrative tasks.
