Q640 – Q640
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q640 to bill for the completion of a primary care template or form that does not have a specific fee code but is required for patient care coordination.
- Apply this code when submitting a request for a specialist consultation or diagnostic test that requires a formal, standardized referral form completion.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q640 in conjunction with a K030 or K033, as these codes are intended to be stand-alone and often conflict with the administrative nature of Q640.
- Avoid using Q640 for routine chart notes or internal documentation, as it is strictly reserved for formal external forms or specific administrative reporting requirements.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the specific name or type of the form is clearly noted in your billing software's 'notes' field to justify the use of the code during a potential Ministry audit.
