Q655 – Q655
OHIP Critical Care Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use Q655 to bill for the completion of the Ontario Lung Screening Program (OLSP) eligibility assessment for high-risk patients.
- Apply this code when documenting the patient's smoking history and risk profile to determine their suitability for low-dose CT screening.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill Q655 in conjunction with a standard office visit fee (A007) if the primary purpose of the encounter is solely the screening assessment.
- Avoid using this code for routine respiratory consultations or follow-ups that do not specifically align with the OLSP protocol requirements.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the patient meets the specific age and smoking history criteria defined by Cancer Care Ontario before submitting, as claims are subject to automated validation against the provincial registry.
