Q608 – Q608
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q608 to bill for the completion of a specific medical certificate or form when no other specific fee code exists for that document.
- Apply this code when submitting a report requested by a third party that does not fall under the scope of a standard office visit or consultation.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing Q608 in conjunction with an office visit code like A007 is often rejected as the service is considered bundled into the visit fee.
- Using Q608 for forms that have their own dedicated fee codes, such as K035 for the Chronic Disease Management incentive or specific insurance forms, will result in payment denials.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the third party requesting the form is clearly identified in the patient chart, as this code is frequently audited for medical necessity and proof of request.
