Q615
Q615 – Q615
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q615 to bill for the completion of a formal application for the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) for mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or walkers.
- Apply this code when the physician performs the required medical assessment and signs the ADP application form for a patient requiring long-term respiratory equipment.
Common Pitfalls
- Submitting Q615 for simple prescription renewals or general medical notes that do not meet the specific ADP application criteria will result in rejection.
- Billing Q615 on the same day as a comprehensive assessment (A007) or minor assessment (A001) for the same patient often triggers a manual review or rejection due to the global fee structure of the visit.
- Failing to include the patient's valid health card number or the specific ADP form reference number in the billing record can lead to audit flags.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient's chart contains the specific ADP form number or a copy of the signed application to substantiate the claim during a post-payment audit.
- Since Q615 is a zero-dollar code, it is primarily used for administrative tracking and eligibility verification; ensure it is linked correctly to the patient's encounter to avoid submission errors.
