Q639 – Q639
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q639 as a tracking code to report the provision of a virtual care service via telephone or video when the physician is not eligible to bill a standard office visit fee.
- Apply this code when documenting the completion of a virtual encounter that is part of a specific program or incentive requiring the tracking of non-fee-for-service virtual interactions.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q639 in conjunction with a standard office visit code like A007, as it is intended for tracking purposes rather than as a billable service fee.
- Avoid using Q639 for in-person encounters, as its primary purpose is to capture data specifically for virtual care delivery metrics.
Billing Tips
- Ensure Q639 is submitted on the same claim as the primary service code if you are required to report virtual modality, even though it carries a $0.00 fee.
