Q650 – Q650
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q650 to bill for the completion of a Ministry-approved form or certificate that does not have a specific fee code assigned, such as certain insurance or employer-requested medical notes.
- Use this code when documenting the administrative time spent on a non-insured service that is billable directly to a third party rather than the Ministry.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q650 for services already covered by a comprehensive visit code like A007, as this constitutes double-billing for the same encounter.
- Avoid using Q650 for services that are considered 'uninsured' under the Schedule of Benefits if the patient has not been informed of the fee beforehand, as this leads to patient complaints and potential audit scrutiny.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient or third party is clearly informed that Q650 represents a non-insured service fee before the service is rendered to avoid payment disputes.
